Heavenly Hydrangeas, ISU Extension

"Hydrangeas, Hydrangeas" is a pretty darn good website about Hydrangeas!

I particularly liked the story of Amy-Beth and David: "The Hydrangea That Wouldn't Bloom"  - Eileen

Asters for dry locations:

Aromatic Aster (Symphyotrichum oblongifolium, syn Aster oblongifolius), 'October Skies' is commonly available

Calico Aster (Symohyotrichum lateriflorum, syn Aster lateriflorus,) 'Lady in Black'

Heartleaf Aster, aka Blue Wood Aster, (Symphyotrichum cordifolium, syn Aster cordifolius)

Smooth Blue Aster, (Symphyotrichum laeve, syn Aster laevis), 'Bluebird' is commonly available

Short's Aster (Symphyorichum shortii, Aster shortii). This will go "everywhere" from seed and fill in the gaps inyour perennial garden. prune it back as much as you like through July, then enjoy the show.
