ac by Fred Spicer, Executive Director & CEO

The Little and Red Mountain Garden Clubs, Birmingham’s local chapters of the Garden Club of America (GCA) and their members have been important sources of funding, volunteers (including numerous board members), advocacy and new plants for our living collections since The Gardens’ beginning. We take great pride in u t r e highlighting some recent work on the part of these clubs to honor two of their luminaries. Last November The Gardens offered special O tribute to Louise “Weesie” Smith. So more people could learn about her, a biography was prepared in which she was described as “a tireless champion on behalf of the natural beauty and diversity of... Alabama...[a] community volunteer for over 40 years...a self-taught botanist and consummate gardener; a generous plant sharer; [and] a humble, bighearted teacher and willing L-R: Virginia “Becky” Smith, Louise “Weesie” Smith mentor.” Read the full biography here: www. bbgardens.org/central-south-honoree.php. and use in the landscape.

The first such award may be given as early as Award, to be administered by the Red Mountain 2015. Congratulations, Weesie, for this singular honor! Garden Club, Weesie’s club and the award’s sponsor.

The Louise Agee Wrinkle of native plants, their protection, propagation Native Plant Internship is named for and given in honor of one of Birmingham’s most accomplished gardeners. Though, as she has said, she came to horticulture later in life than some, I would say that she has pursued it with love, joy, humble tenacity and a studied inquisitiveness that have more than made up for any lost time. This hands-in-the-dirt gift – an immersive internship – is apt tribute. We offer our sincere thanks to the club and congratulations to Louise.

In The Gardens Fred Spicer, executive director & CEO Summer-blooming shrubs are uncommon in our area. Most gardeners, me included, rely on other ornamental characteristics, like handsome foliage, for woody plant interest at this time of year. However, one shrub really sparkles in late July-early August: Hydrangea paniculata ‘Tardiva,’ a cultivar of r d e n i n g panicle hydrangea. Many new cultivars of

a this species have been introduced recently including ‘Limelight’, ‘Jane’/Little Lime™ and ‘Wim’s Red’/Fire and Ice, to name just

G three of over a dozen. For us, most of those don’t live up to their marketing promises, as they do in the northeast, mid-west and northern Europe. Plus, they flower in late spring to early summer.

‘Tardiva,’ as its name suggests, flowers markedly later than any other cultivar. It’s an old selection whose introduction is lost in all seasons, unevenly rounded and growing to 8x8’+ to obscurity; still, faced with lots of new [above]. Because it flowers on new wood, hard pruning in competition it has stood the test of time, late winter is recommended for size and shape control firmly holding its place as the latest of the to whatever degree is needed; older shrubs should be (increasingly expanding) bunch. One source renewed in this manner to increase vigor and flower bud indicated that some seedlings of ‘Tardiva’ production. Thinning to minimize branching will cause flowered as late as September: in Georgia. the typically 8” terminal flower clusters to become 12-15” behemoths, weighing down the stems and turning the plant Valuable for summer flowers, it’s not the most into a weeping form with a few giant flowers. However refined shrub in form, being coarse in texture grown, is not a plant for up-front, specimen use, but one best suited for a supporting role.

The conical inflorescences may remind you of oakleaf hydrangea as they are composed of small, fertile flowers inside and larger, sterile flowers outside. ‘Tardiva’ produces relatively few sterile flowers but their large diameter makes a good show [left]. Fall leaf color is usually a medium yellow. They will tolerate most soils that are not permanently wet, and they are reasonably drought tolerant after establishment. The best flower production occurs in full sun, but afternoon or high-filtered shade results in a less tattered plant. Panicle hydrangeas are sometimes incorrectly referred to as “PeeGee” hydrangeas. That tag correctly belongs solely on the cultivar ‘Grandiflora.’ 6 E
