It's time to plant your fall gardens. And, while you might think that fall gardens are not colourful, Walter is here to show you otherwise. Walter will also teach viewers about some new cultivars of hydrangeas and a few tricks about flower arrangements. Tune into Gardening in Georgia this Saturday, November 1, 2003 on your local GPTV affiliate at 12:30 pm and 7:00 pm for this and more.
New Hydrangeas Hydrangeas are a popular plant for southern landscapes. They produce wonderful summer flowers. Homeowners frequently ask when to prune and what are some new cultivars that are being released. Walter says that knowing when to prune (in July) can be tricky. But, he says hope is on the way! He visits the Center for Applied Nursery Research in Dearing, Georgia, to see the new 'Endless Summer' hydrangea which blooms all summer long no matter when it is pruned. He's also impressed with the 'Lady in Red' red-stemmed hydrangea and the 'Chantilly Lace' tardiva hydrangea.
