New Hydrangeas Available Locally

This week, Lowe's has begun carrying 'new' selections of hydrangea from Kurt Weiss Greenhouses. At the forefront, are picotee-leaved specimens "Midnight Salsa" and "Sandy Summer". Sandy Summer most closely resembles Forever & Ever's Peppermint variety. Lowe's also has been selling various traditional florist hydrangeas from KW, however be careful since all of them have been categorized as wither Merritt's Supreme or Blue Danube; but there are many different breeds - see KW's catalog below to identify yours.

For more info, please visit KW's new website: http://www.hydrangeas.com . There, you will find a video highlighting their growing, and a PDF catalog that parallels the video.

Here is the Midnight Salsa I picked up. It most closely resembles H. serrata "Preziosa" in appearance.
