Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
A dull summer’s day can seem a little depressing, but there’s a luminosity in the garden that’s particularly pleasing, and it’s a light that’s exceedingly good at bouncing the colour green around the garden. So while my geums and roses and paeonies might be looking a little gloomy just now, the fresh growth on the oak-leaved hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia) is vibrancy itself. Under normal circumstances, it would be a few weeks before the long, creamy panicles would begin to draw our attention, and months before the bright, rare-steak reds of the autumn colour would leap out frmo the borders. But today, under a grim sky, the hydrangeas have it.
