What exactly does this mean?
We have two hydrangea plants that we are giving to you for you to plant at your house. Our hopes is that they will grow and flourish in your environment. This is a plant based giveaway and not an installation – so we can’t guarantee there success like we normally do with our construction jobs. If you need advice on planting them, we are more than willing to lend our knowledge and resources. Once the winner takes them, they are in their care!

Fun facts about hydrangeas.
Did you know that there are about 70 to 75 species of flowering hydrangeas that are native to Asia and the Americas?
The flowers are produced from early spring into late autumn.
It is considered a deer and drought resistant plant that also attracts most pollinators.
Most species are white, however some are able to present blue, red, pink, and light or dark purple depending on the presence of aluminum ions in the soil’s pH.
There is an American Hydrangea Society that you can become a member of!
They can range in height from around two feet to ten feet tall, but some species can grow significantly bigger.
We think they look great!
We love to hear from friends, family, customers and the general community. Yes – this probably means you! Join us on social media where we display our passion for the natural environment and everything related. Occasionally, you will even see updates of our nursery cat!
