Mid-Summer Tour - My English Garden - July 2023

It's Mid Summer - July and the big shrubs are in flower!
Join me as I talk about my flowering hydrangea collection - the panicle, oak-leaf, lacecap and mophead hydrangeas.
My English Garden is near the coast in North-West England, 1/3 of an acre (including the house) Zone 9a with sandy soil.
I bought the paniculata hydrangeas mail order from:

Everything about you and your garden are both therapeutic but especially the way you talk. I often watch/listen to your uploads right before I go to bed. So soothing, relaxing, calming and almost healing. Thank you, Paul.

[@paultsworld]

I appreciate you letting me know that, as like many people I am not sure about the sound of my voice and it takes some time to get used to hearing it. I do like to be in a calm, relaxed world so I am very happy - and greatly encouraged - if my videos add to that. Thank you.

[@clairebeane3455]

Due to a move, my midsummer English garden is relatively new. I am watching this for inspiration for next summer. 💜💜💜

[@clairebeane3455]

Also, my burgeoning hydrangeas had to be rescued, so I had only one stalk that survived. But her leaves are so healthy and happy. She shall live!!!! 💜💜💜

[@paultsworld]

As you see I like lots of hydrangeas! Dahlias are a good bet for ‘instant’ Summer colour in a new garden. Just buy corms in Spring and they’ll flower from late June right through to the first frosts. Good luck!

[@margaretmichelsen766]

Good Afternoon, Paul, your plants all look superb despite their dry start to the season. I write from West Sussex and have been to Gravetye Manor and Sissinghurst. I like your results of the heavy prune of the white hydrangea. I will be pruning mine soon enough! Time to be more aggressive. I love your newly propagated hydrangeas, how satisfying. Glad you have had lots of rain. Looking forward to all your backyard updates. Fly home tomorrow. I have loved England. Last week, I did Hampton Court Show and Kew. M🌿

[@paultsworld]

You’re in England! I am so pleased you’ve had an enjoyable time - hope you’ve had some dry weather. Safe journey home. By the way - remember RIP Philly? Well - she flowered a month or so ago! 🌻

[@margaretmichelsen766]

Yes of course I remember RIP Philly!! Paul the Slasher gave her a radical prune! The lesson is: Go hard or Go home! Though, I think the fact she took FIVE years to flower again, might indicate a degree of resentment!! 🤣😅

[@paultsworld]

Maybe you’re right 😃 I was a touch over enthusiastic.

Hi paul. I love all the varieties of hydrangea that you have in your garden. You might show us how you take a cutting. Sorry if i missed a video on that. We have had torrential rain here over the past week. Your garden looks wonderful. 🇮🇪☔🌧️

[@paultsworld]

Hello Catherine, loads of rain here too - one of the reasons the mopheads look so good. Thank you for the reminder - I’m intending doing a cuttings video. Enjoy your garden - sun is on its way. 🌸 🌞

[@RoseCottageColleen]

I'm always so excited when I see you pop up in my feed. Your garden is so lovely and I seem to learn something from every one of your videos. You certainly inspired me to plany hydrangea's last year, and this year I'm so happy for it. I never knew to cut back penstemons. I'm headed out to my garden to remedy that right now. Thank you so much for your channel. 🌻

[@paultsworld]

So nice of you, thank you. If your penstemons are standing up OK then you could wait till they’ve had their first flower and then give a good dead head for repeat blooms - might be a touch late for a Chelsea Chop now. Hope your new hydrangeas are flowering. How is it going at the plant nursery Colleen? 🌸

[@RoseCottageColleen]

@@paultsworld How kind of you to remember. As it turned out, they were overstaffed so I'm spending the time learning in my own garden. My hydrangeas are so lovely. Thank you for your inspiration.

[@mrsrover8997]

Thank you for the lovely video, your hydrangeas are gorgeous! I'm in Prince Edward Island, Canada (US zone 4) so can't grow the beautiful oakleaf varieties. I have just started a garden this year. and have planted 2 paniculatas - Pinky Winky and Confetti - I can't wait to see them bloom! Happy gardening

[@paultsworld]

I have a Pinky Winky and really like it - it does well for me every year. I don’t know ‘Confetti’ I must look it up. Greetings to Prince Edward Island. 🇨🇦

[@itsmewende]

Lovely as always. I do love a garden experiment. Where I'm here in the states I'm zone 7b, we could pass for 8a, in my opinion. We rarely get extremely cold here, some 4 - 5 yrs ago it did, one hydrangea never bloomed that summer. I cut it way back with all intentions of removing it, never got around to it, it has the most blooms today since it was cut back. I do so appreciate you putting the name up too, makes it really easy to copy cat you for my garden.

[@paultsworld]

Hi Wende, it is nice when plants respond to being cut back. I am very pleased you find the captions useful for when you see something you fancy.

[@itsmewende]

So glad to see you again Paul. What a gorgeous garden you have now; it certainly repays all the back-breaking work, feeding and care you gave.- how it has grown too. For me, the paniculatas give more generously than anything. Love the little Smoke tree. Thank you!

[@paultsworld]

Hello Wendy, glad your paniculatas are also doing well - in many ways I think these varieties are the easiest and toughest of the hydrangeas. 🌻

[@wendychandler8304]

@@paultsworld I will look for some others now; 'Candlelight' looks good. At least they survived the heat and cold, but mine, in pots are very exposed.

[@paultsworld]

Candlelight is looking even better now it’s fully out and Framboisine Rensam has turned a lovely pink - I think these are my two favourites.

[@gardensenglishandbeauty]

Hello, Paul. Your garden looks great and the hydrangeas are simply splendid! I'm sorry I haven't watched your video earlier, but 24h after I came back home from the UK I went down with the flu. I haven't recovered yet, to be honest. Flying with a bunch of coughing and sneezing children on board is not a healthy pastime ;-) I did manage to visit and film seven beautiful gardens in Sussex and Surrey, fortunately.

Hi Jolanta, so sorry you’ve been hit with the dreaded lurgi, hope you shake it off soon. Looking forward to seeing your adventures in Sussex & Surrey.

[@paultsworld]

Thank you - I have one oak-leaf in sun and two in partial shade. The one you saw in this video is in full sun in the height of Summer and is looking good. I do believe though it is more a woodland plant that likes a certain amount of shade. Good luck with the new hydrangeas you get.

[@heartofdixieprepping4797]

Hello Paul, I'm a new subscriber. I found you while looking for woodland gardens. I'm almost full woodland. Probably 80% woodland. I so wanted a cottage garden but it's not going to happen. I don't have much space with direct sunlight. I have an small area with full sun and one area with some morning sun and a bit more in afternoons. There's were I tried to make me a cottage "room". I did do well with salvias, hydrangeas that I rooted, and ginger lilies. We have very hot and humid summers. Fall is actually perfect like spring weather. I struggled all summer to keep my plants watered because of drought and heat waves. They actually did ok. The temperature is much lower and everything has started putting on new growth and blooming again. After watching a video you did on woodland gardens I have hope for a garden that can have beautiful plants that bloom and thrive in shady areas. It was such a great video and so glad I found it to help me plan for next spring.

[@paultsworld]

Hello and welcome to my channel. Usually in Britain the woodland plants are mostly acidic loving plants - I wonder if that’s the same in your garden? Luckily my soil is very slightly acidic so these plants - azalea, rhododendron, camellia, pieris, big-leaf hydrangea - do well for me. I hope you manage to get a sunny corner going for the cottage plants.

[@heartofdixieprepping4797]

@@paultsworld Thank you. Yes, my soil is acidic with some areas a bit sandy. Both azaleas and camellias thrive here. I have an oak leaf hydrangea and it does well as does the regular hydrangeas I guess they are. They are the blue or pink depending on the soil. I do want something different this spring. I see so many beautiful ones here on gardening channels. I hope to find some ground covers that also bloom or something that blooms in part sun. Thank you so much for responding to my comment. I’ll be binge watching your channel the coming weeks.

[@paultsworld]

Yes, the ones which change colour depending on the soil pH are the mophead and lacecap hydrangeas - as you will see, I have lots of those plus three oak leafs and many paniculatas. I like brunnera and lamium for ground cover - both of those are OK in part shade. Thank you for watching my channel.

[@heartofdixieprepping4797]

@@paultsworld Thank you. I have never heard the name of those hydrangeas. I like it. It's so nice to know. I have an oakwood as well. It's very old. The tallest part is about 10 feet the blooms were beautiful but there were not as many as I would think it should be. I'm sure it hasn't been cut back in 10 years. I will definitely look for those plants. I'm sure I'll have to order them unless I go to a big nursery about an hour from me. That's not bad as long as they have them. You're very welcome. I love watching your channel. Lots of great topics. I'm looking forward to watching them and new ones as well. Have a great weekend 😄

Hi Paul. I always enjoy your videos and your experiments 😅. What beautiful hydrangeas and the white one you cut back is lovely. I purchased a white mop head a couple of years ago from my supermarket because the poor thing was on its last legs. This year is the first time it actually looks like a plant, so I'm happy I stuck with it. Many thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend 🙋‍♀️

I agree - those lovely big leaves have responded to the rain. That’s nice you’re interested in the wildlife. Unfortunately the pond has been suffering from blanket weed this year and I haven’t seen the newts - they’re there though and OK but it’s not good for photography. Hopefully next year it will be clear.

My hydrangeas suffered a lot, and this year I have no flowers at all. I also lost two Rose of Sharon and a Wisteria that were 20 years old😢Anyways … see you in the next video!🙋🏻‍♀️❤️💚💚💚💚🌵🪴

Oh my, how devastating to have lost two established plants - hopefully your hydrangeas will come back next year full of vigour.

Garden's looking great Paul. I really like your Framboisine Rensam with the beautiful florets. Hope Pinky Winky is doing well. I saw one at Gordale the other day but I couldn't justify spending any more money as the other plants in my trolley came to quite a bit on that day. Good excuse to go back!

[@paultsworld]

Goredale have been stocking a nice variety of paniculatas - as you know I do like the Pink Winky - it's in the back garden and really comes into its own when the florets turn red - Wendy, I think you need one!

[@jcking6785]

I wish you could have seen the smile that came across my face when I saw that you had posted a new video. Your garden is so lovely. At about 9:08 to 9:10 or so, you “featured” a deep, pink hydrangea that was absolutely stunning. Do you know the variety name? I am becoming so infatuated with hydrangeas that I want one of every variety I can get my hands on here in Kentucky! Thank you for sharing your lovely garden and brightening my day.

[@paultsworld]

So nice of you - thank you for letting me know. That hydrangea has grown beautifully - it’s a lacecap but I’m afraid I don’t know the variety. It’s a cutting from the large one that’s on the patio. Each one varies in its colour depending on the acidity of the soil. I had a Zorro in the front that was pink and in the wrong place - I moved it to the lawn bed in the back garden - and now it’s a stunning blue! They are now producing new varieties of lacecaps and mopheads that keep a consistent colour regardless of the soil. Good luck with your collection.

Ορτανσία αγαπημένο λουλούδι όμως εδώ στην Ελλάδα έχει πολύ ζέστη και υποφέρουν. Μπορώ να πω ότι θέλουν δύο φορές την ημέρα πότισμα. Πάντως οι δικές σας είναι πανέμορφες. Από την Ελλάδα καλό καλοκαίρι ❤

[@paultsworld]

Αυτό είναι σωστό - ιδιαίτερα οι ορτανσίες μοσχοβολιστών χρειάζονται πολύ νερό. Χαιρετισμούς στην Ελλάδα. 🌻 That's correct - particularly the mophead hydrangeas need a lot of water.

[@brooke1615]

I’m so glad you showed us your experiment. I had to do some pruning on my big leaf hydrangeas and I’m so glad they have bloomed. I’m in the south and today is so windy. I’ve lost most of my blooms on my incredible. They are now in a vase. I love hydrangeas the most, as when everything else starts to struggle I know my garden will look stunning all summer. I have a question about the dahlias. I’ve just started a dahlia bed this year. How many years do you leave yours in the ground before dividing. I tested two I bought on clearance last year. They survived the winter and I took one out in spring to check tubers and the clump was enormous.

[@paultsworld]

It's windy here too - not good for July lol. Yes, just when not much is flowering - the hydrangeas always come to the rescue. That's a good point about the dahlias. I left mine in for years and 'forgot' about dividing them! So I just divide them if the clump becomes too big or they are losing vigour - I should be more methodical about it.

[@Carmen-sg1hr]

What a spectacular collection of hydrangeas! Do you know the flowering sequence of the different types of hydrangeas? Also, do you use compost and manure on your hydrangeas ? Greetings from Melbourne.

[@paultsworld]

Thank you - glad you enjoyed my hydrangeas. Generally the mophead and lacecap hydrangeas flower first then the paniculatas. This year I haven’t fed the hydrangeas - only because I’ve been busy on other business. But ideally I like to mulch with ericaceous compost and add a few chicken pellets in late Winter/early Spring. Then every now and then over the Summer I add a splash of liquid ‘azalea’ food to a watering can. I’m not methodical and sometimes simply react if a plant isn’t looking too good. Greetings to 🇦🇺

[@Mindy-s-channel]

I’m so jealous of your hydrangeas. I’m in 6b USA. Mine are not performing well 😢

[@paultsworld]

Thank you - I must say the hydrangeas are doing well. I've just checked out your latest video Mindy and see you have lots - and lots - of really interesting hydrangeas. Nice flowering paniculatas. Your macrophyllas have fabulous large green leaves - not sure why they aren't covered in blooms - I wonder if your Winter knocks them back a bit too much and they then grow beautifully but don't get the early flowers started?

[@robzaphy]

Hi Paul, the garden is looking great! Any update on the Brugmansia? When do you wrap it away for the winter? Thanks

[@paultsworld]

Hi Mike, thank you. The brugmansias are doing fine, it’s been an incredibly cold and wet Summer so they aren’t anywhere near as good as last year. I’ll put them in the garage once there’s been a first frost. Here that will probably be in sometime in November or December.

My big leaf hydrangea have not bloom in three seasons. Should I remove and plant in full sun. Not sure what to do. Now in July there are nice and healthy, but no bloom. Please help. Thanks

[@paultsworld]

The big-leaf Hydeangeas like a lot of water and don’t like to be scorched. Even in my mild Summers they can struggle if there’s a heatwave. Depends on your Summers - if hot then maybe a semi shade place. Of course some sun always brings on flowers better than total shade. I wonder if the problem is the soil. Big-leaf hydrangeas (mophead lacecap) prefer a slightly acidic - ericaceous soil. I always plant with plenty of ericaceous compost and feed with ‘azalea’ food. My soil is naturally slightly acidic. The big-leaf hydrangeas in my sister’s garden have done very badly - she has clay soil that is almost certainly fairly alkaline. I would ideally move plants in Autumn or Spring. Give your plants a nice mulch and feed in February/March/April - depending how long your Winters are. Hope some of that is of help - I presume you are not pruning too hard in Spring?

[@JV-dx5uv]

Hi Paul, hope you can help me. I have a few beautiful Hydrangea paniculata in my garden and I cut them back every year. This year one of them stopped growing. No shoots, nothing. Then I cut it back for a fresh restart about 30 cm from the ground about one and a half month ago... Still nothing. Saw a picture of last year it was still blooming. Did the same as the other ones who are fine. Can I help this one or is it over?

[@paultsworld]

Hi JV, sorry one of your paniculatas is having a problem. It sounds to me as though there's a problem with the roots. I would be tempted to dig it up - check the root ball (any insects?) and maybe put it in a large pot to see what happens next. I have one paniculata that was magnificent up to two years ago. then the blooms were really small and not looking good. I took a cutting and the cutting is flowering brilliantly this year but the mother plant is having another really bad Summer. I don't know if it is lack of food or insects - I also have to make a decision.

Hi Paul, your garden is absolutely stunning! The colours are gorgeous! I have a soft spot for hydrangeas. My husband gave one of ours a trim this spring and now it only has one flower on it 😢😢😢 I’m not sure what happened to it. In other news our vanilla strawberry is doing awesome and it has about 10 flowers that are just starting to grow.
