Time to plant
Marianna, garden designer
She designs a garden from the sun: where it rises, where it sets and what will live in each corner. She propagates hydrangeas herself and keeps a collection of cultivars.
- 30bigleaf hydrangea cultivars in her collection
- 2days per design from photos and measurements
