Hydrangea Heaven

Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania

Sat, Jun 23, 2012, 10am - 1pm

Tickets: 35 members, $40 non-members

No single genus provides as much variety for summer bloom as hydrangea, while offering the benefits of low maintenance. This is a vast group of shrubs that varies from the beautiful foliage and peeling bark of the oakleaf hydrangea to the delicate flowers of the lacecap. Hydrangeas are appropriate for large or small gardens and there are varieties for sun or shade. We will first take a walking tour to look at hydrangeas in the Arboretum collection. We will then travel to a lovely local private garden in nearby Chestnut Hill to learn about the different types of hydrangeas, pruning techniques and how to best site them in the garden.


Location:

100 East Northwestern Avenue Philadelphia, PA In the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia
