My Favorite Hydrangeas: Part 2

September 25, 2015 / liz@hillsidegardencenter.com / Blog, Cut Flowers, Fall, Hydrangeas, Landscaping, Pruning, Summer

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Quickfire’ is another of my favorite varieties. It grows 6-8’ tall and 5-6’ wide but with a much more upright habit than ‘Limelight’ which I spoke of in my last blog. Again 5-6 hours of sunlight is required with a well drained soil tolerating a variety of soil types. Photo credit: Fred Ortlip […]

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Limelight’ is one of my favorite varieties.

March 13, 2015 / liz@hillsidegardencenter.com / Blog, General Gardening, Pruning

A common question is when should a certain plant be pruned. Often it is a generic question as to when should one prune. The timing of when a plant should be pruned to me is less important than how it is pruned. More often than not people are whacking away at their plants with shears […]

Your New Favorite Rose Bush

March 5, 2014 / hillsidegarden / Blog, Perennials, Pruning, Roses

I have never been a fan of fussy Hybrid Tea Rose bushes. They’re kind of like a pet. (I’m reminded of a purbred Irish Setter I knew as a kid…) Then I met the ‘Knokcout’ Rose bush. A trademark mane that comes in colors of light yellow pink and red (really a dar, hot pink) […]

What is Bonsai?

March 5, 2014 / hillsidegarden / Landscape Design, Landscaping, Pruning

Bonsai is pronounced with a long ‘o’ (bone-sigh). When pronouncing with a short ‘o’ it means attack, like in the war movies with the Japanese pilots. The dictionary defines bon-sai as: a potted plant dwarfed by special methods of culture; the art of growing such a plant. I know it as “The Art of Pruning”. […]
