Description
Many people remember hydrangeas from their childhood. Today we are falling in love with them all over again. And the good news is that we can now grow many hydrangeas our grandmothers never even dreamed of. Some newer hydrangeas grow in colder climates, some are so small they will fit into the perennial border, and others have amazingly large blooms and deep colors.
*******************************************************************************************
This shade-loving beauty offers huge bouquets of clustered flowers, in various arrangements from mop head to lace cap, from summer through fall. Varieties differ in size of plant and flower, flower color, and blooming time. Pee Gee hydrangeas grow into small trees; the flowers turn russet and cling into winter. Oak leaf hydrangeas have the most handsome foliage, which reddens dramatically in fall. Some of the newer hydrangeas feature huge flowers on compact plants, ideal for containers and small gardens. Hydrangeas thrive in a moist, fertile, well-drained soil in partial to full shade. If you're seeking blue flowers, check your soil's pH level and apply aluminum sulfate in spring to lower pH to the 5.2-5.5 range.
