Hydrangeas are looking lush

We have this wonderful row of hydrangeas that run the full length of the south-facing verandah. Steve cut the old flower heads and trimmed them back in late June and I then fertilized them with poultry pellets. We then had a very wet August which seems to have worked perfectly because the plants are covered in lush new leaves. Let's hope we get a good flowering from them in late spring/summer.
