Vintage Charm: Hydrangeas Park of Classic Southern Garden
With a charming lodgings built in the 1920s as its backdrop, floral designer Aldena Frye’s garden has all the makings of a antiquated Southern garden: casual, with colorful perennials, vines and annuals and touches of whimsy.
However, it is the sustained sweep of mature French hydrangeas, commonly known as florists’ hydrangea, planted abutting her well-house, that takes her breath away each summer.
“They are quintessentially Southern and belong in any Southern garden,” she says while recalling a honour of a young fellow who would bring her mother huge bouquets of blooms cut from his mother’s garden when he’d move to call on her. “It made an impression on her, and me, and it’s the way I first grew to love the plant.”
Over the years, Frye planted her garden with around 30 leftovers from her shop, Aldena Frye’s Floral Designs, and they bloom profusely with inflorescences of pink, crestfallen and white flowers.
Not satisfied with one hydrangea variety, Frye planted other species among her rhododendrons and viburnum, including the popularized Southern native lacecap (H. macrophylla normalis) and the tree-like ‘Pee Gee’ hydrangea (H. paniculata) and a regular-leaf hydrangea cultivar, ‘Annsbelle’ (H. arborescens ‘Annabelle’), which produces the unelaborated dinner plate-sized inflorescences often found in garden centers.
