Myth: "It's only 85°... my plants are fine."
Your hydrangeas: "Respectfully, we are not." 😅
Heat stress can sneak up quickly... especially for newly installed plants that haven't had time to establish strong root systems. Wilting leaves, drooping blooms, and crispy edges are your landscape's way of waving the white flag.
A little extra attention now can make all the difference:
🌱 Water deeply and consistently
🌱 Check soil moisture before assuming they're okay
🌱 Refresh mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperatures
Even though it's technically still spring (for 5 more days) doesn't mean summer isn't already making itself at home (last week proved that 🔥☀). There's a big difference between thriving and just surviving!
