Monday Morning Dooley Hydrangea



In full bloom this weekend in my gardens are the Dooley Mophead Hydrangeas. Named for the former football coach and athletic director at the University of Georgia, it produced a huge showing of blue and slightly pink blooms this year. Apparently, Mr. Dooley, a master gardener, found the hydrangea growing in his backyard. He also has a camellia named for him. They grow to about 3-5 feet in height, require little care and are cold-hardy.

Your hydrangeas are beautiful. I only have white and green but I think I will have to add some color in there eventually.
