hydrangeas in winter-a torn paper collage

hydrangeas in winter trying to hide – dormant

blooms, brown, like leafless trees

vibrant kale and spinach – alive

their green shouts

Hydrangeas are my favorite! They are my signs of summer so this was an interesting perspective to think of them in winter! Cool collage!

Do you leave them or cut them back? Mine are brown like yours and I wasn’t sure what to do.

  I usually cut mine back in the early spring. I’m not expert but they do keep coming back! Might try cutting them back more this spring, try a little shaping — we shall see!!
