Branching Out's Seeds and Sprouts

[Branching Out]

We have a really pretty hydrangea in full sun, and on hot days the blossoms curl up in protest. I have taken to covering the plant with a sheet during the worst of the heat, to shade it and to conserve moisture. It looks kind of funny, but it's better than having shrivelled up blossoms. We plan to relocate this shrub to a shadier spot come the fall.
