All about hydrangeas

Teaming With Microbes

This week, the guys discuss the fascinating world of hydrangeas. Jeff mentions that these vibrant flowers are the top-selling plant in garden centers across the U.S. because they are both gorgeous and easy to maintain. He notes that their popularity is due to their colorful appearance as well as their resilience and adaptability. Jonathan adds that hydrangeas thrive in warm soil and temperatures, making them an excellent choice for various climates. He also points out an interesting fact for Alaskans: moose don’t like them!

After the break, they continue their in-depth discussion on hydrangeas. They explore how pH levels in the soil can produce a spectrum of colors from blue to pink.

Finally, they address a listener's question about dealing with garden weeds.

All that and more on this week’s episode of Teaming with Microbes!
