Hard to believe we are past mid-July – already! NOW is the time to take care of a couple of hydrangea chores, ideally by August 1.

Cupped leaves on Hydrangea arborescens Are the leaves on your 'Annabelle' hydrangeas stuck to each other? Inspect them and any other hydrangea arborescens you may have like Incrediball ® or Invincibelle ® Spirit. You may notice some leaves cupped together. It looks like the leaves above from my Invincibelle ® Spirit.  Interesting, huh? Don’t panic!
