Say ‘welcome’

“A hanging basket of blue hydrangea is sure to add an elegant touch of beauty and charm to a porch,” notes Randaci. “Plus, the cool blue hues of the blooms create a calming, welcoming feel when displayed near an entryway.”

For added interest, Randaci suggests styling blooms in a white basket, which will offer a clean finish and enhance the hydrangea’s lovely blue color. To do: Simply drill a few drainage holes into the bottom of a wide basket, add potting soil and drop in a dwarf hydrangea plant. Give morning sun and afternoon shade; water regularly.
