- RHS Wisley August - Hydrangeas. A visit to RHS garden Wisley to see plants that flower in August and the display of hydrangea paniculata and hydrangea macrophylla has changed my opinion of these flowering shrubs. I used to consider them boring, but now I love them.
The display of flowering shrubs for August was breathtaking and I hope this video captures some of their beauty.

About Us.
I share our organically managed homestead, called Byther Farm, with my loving partner, Mr J and our cat, Monty.
We are a fifty-something couple who live on a smallholding in Monmouthshire, Wales. We are going green and creating a gentler, cleaner and more healthy life for our family.
There is a large organic kitchen garden with no dig gardening raised beds and young food forest in which to grown our fruit and vegetables.
I'm currently exploring permaculture farming as a way of life.
We keep chickens, Aylesbury ducks, Khaki Campbell ducks and turkeys.

I hope you enjoyed a look at the hydrangeas at RHS Garden Wisley. More to come from my visit to Wisley very soon!
Very much Liz, thanks for sharing 💗
I love gunnera and want one for the side of the pond at the plot. Nice hostas in flower there too. Beautiful. Great video
Thanks Tony, if you can wait until next year, we could divide the small gunnera that I've got :-)
@@LizZorab see i may have one before i nearly bought one a few weeks back lol
A day away to play! How wonderful. Haven’t been to Wisley since I was a child. I remember there was excellent chocolate cake! 😂
Yup that's the sort of thing I would remember too! No cake for me this time, but I do have that lovely hydrangea to remind me of the visit :-)
Thanks for sharing, Liz. I have a hydrangea "Vanilla Fraise" and I agree with you. It is absolutely beautiful. The flower begins lime green, then white, pink and in autumn red.
Stunning! I just want to dive in there haha.
WOW they are stunning! I am so jealous you were able to see them in person.... ;)
They are fab! I love it when my preconceptions are questioned and then blown away!
🐝🌸I have a large panicle hydrangea called Tardiva. We call her The Diva. Low maintenance and gorgeous in late August, early September. No special fertilizer, needs partial sun. Perfect in my zone 5b Chicagoland yard. Love it.🌸🐝
I really hadn't appreciated how lovely the panicle hydrangeas were, lesson learned, I will be paying more attention from now on!
0:39 The most beautiful hydrangea I've ever seen! I just wish I knew exactly how many hours of direct sun it gets. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video!
Yes they are absolutely gorgeous!
Once you catch the hydrangea bug there's no going back!!
So beautiful there! I love hydrangeas. It’s fun to create different colors❤️
Oh how I love hydrangeas! 💕The Creamy-Pink Peegee hydrangea you showed was my late mother’s favorite! My father still harvests it at their estate to this day. 💗We enjoy them dried all winter long! Look into an hydrangea called “Ayesha” it’s completely different from the typical hydrangea...it’s flowers are a bit of a mix between a succulent and a lilac. I know it sounds odd...but they’re really fun! I’m also a fan of “Oak Leaf” hydrangeas whose bark peels and adds interest to the woodland garden. One of my favorite flowering hydrangeas is called “Annabelle” which has lovely rounded clouds of white blooms which turn into a gorgeous shade of chartreuse green as they dry. I could go on and on....but so happy you changed your mind about hydrangeas🥰 They are my third favorite flower behind wild foxgloves and climbing cabbage roses. Once again, thanks so much for sharing this wonderful tour with us! 🤗
Beautiful garden tour, Hydrangeas are my favorite! I have the lace cap and the white one you purchased I called the pea gee -I have 4 of them. They make beautiful bouquets for weddings! You will definitely enjoy them and they do well as dried arrangements for the fall .
Oh Liz truly love the video and what wonderful information well done ,Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flower's ,That hydrangea is going to be gorgeous there ,Thank you for sharing God Bless
lovely ive been to wisley a wonderful place
I can hardly believe that I've left it so long without going to Wisley, I imagine it won't be too long before I go back!
@@LizZorab i would love to go again
I just bought two hydrangeas called Glam Rock, it’s a tricolour flower which I’m really looking forward to.
Excellent video Liz! I love Wisley so much, my brother goes to university around half an hour away so it's a good opportunity for a visit there!😉😃😃
It was my first visit and I suspect it's the first of many!
Oh my goodness, I love Hydrangeas.
Oh, WOW. Gorgeous.
They were a breathtaking Linda!
So beautiful. Thankyou for sharing Liz.
Thank you Lorraine, it was really lovely to be able to spend a day just taking in those breathtaking sights :-)
@@LizZorab i agree with you. The candyfloss one is one i could watch all day long , its so beautiful.What a lovely place to wander through.
Love hydrangeas, fantastic video Liz
Great! I am hoping to make it over there in the next week or two. :)
It's definitely worth a visit!
A really beautiful garden.
Hi Pam, yes it is absolutely wonderful, I am looking forward to going back and seeing more of it in the future.
Personally im not a lover of Hydrangeas but you may well have changed my mind seeing all those different vaieties! Jen
Hi Jen, I was not a fan at all, as I said the 1970s monstrosities of pink or blue blobs in our gardens really put me off them, but these creamy white beauties have made me have a real rethink.
@@LizZorab I think I have a 1970s variety in my garden. Lol time to replace with one of these I think! 😁
Beautiful Liz
Thank you Margaret. Looks like we'll be having lovely weather today, I hope you get a chance to enjoy of some of it outside :-)
@@LizZorab yes count our blessings. Have a great bank holiday with Mr J. I,ve been in the garden for an hour this morning cutting the lawn which means more weeds than lawn. Lol
I never have any luck with Hydrangeas. Any tips?
gunnera is a pest here in Ireland. it's quite invasive and colonises riverbanks, Achill Island is overrun with them. It's as bad a Japanese knotweed, so be careful. I love hydrangeas and the're supposed to be easy to grow as cuttings but none seem to survive in my garden. I think it's too wet in Winter
Wow, I didn't know that about gunnera, it's amazing how a plant can be fab in one place and invasive in another! I haven't had huge success with hydrangea either, I'm hoping that now I don't have a pink or blue round blob that it will flourish.
Which one did you buy? Was it difficult to buy only ONE? 😉
They didn't have either of the ones that I especially wanted, so choosing just one was easier than it might have been. Info about the plants (and the one I chose) is in the description/info box below the video.
I love to bury my face in the faintly lilac-scented silkily cool heads of hydrangeas on a hot summer day!
I stuck my face into these ones too to see if they were fragrant, they had a very slight and light fragrance which was almost lilac in its tones.
I love Hydrangea it is one of my favourite flowers
