Don’t know what they’re called PP, they’re all from cuttings scrounged from various places. It is huge, about 10’ across. I could send you some cuttings. Im sure they’ll be lots off bits on there that would take. They’re very easy to get going. You've certainly got the soil for them.

I have indeed. Just think how BLUUUUE they'd be. I could make people jealous. 😉 Cuttings would be brilliant thank you. Let me know when they're ready to go.
This one is a lace cap, too big for its boots, it will have its big cut down in the Spring I may chance doing it now, we seen to be having warmer winters.
Goodness, what an amazing specimen! (And very impressed with your grass too! Mine is weedy and balding in patches.) Fair to say I am gardening on a different scale to you!
My old hydrangea usually flowers a lightish blue. After the hot summer last year it was looking a bit straggly and I was going to cut it right down this winter, to rejuvenate it.
However the seemingly non-stop rain all 'summer' has worked a miracle and earned it a reprieve, as it has been bigger and a darker blue than ever before
@ViewAhead don’t be envious of my garden, it’s a nightmare to me.
Enjoy your space, however small, I’m sure yours is tidier than mine.
Oh, I do! The real delight for me is when I moved here there was just grass, one spindly tree a metre tall with a trunk diameter of a couple of inches and one unhappy rose. So, I had a completely blank canvas and everything here is truly "mine". I replanted the tree and it is now a huge beauty and the rose got a better spot and lasted 20+ yrs. It isn't super tidy as I allow self-seedlings to have their moment. I tend to see each plant rather than the whole. I've never used any chemicals and let ants, slugs, and so on, share my space. I think of myself as a visitor to the garden's world.
Same here with this garden, when my parents moved in about 40 years ago it was just grass, my dad had a thing about collecting all different pine cones, and tree seeds, when we took it over in 2010 there were mini conifer forests around, took a while to fell them and dig them out, refresh the ground and design the beds, now it has run riot, I get the feeling I would like a bulldozer in and start again,😀
edit to add…. He did plant most of the hydrangeas and rhododendrons here though. All from cuttings.

I know my limitations!
