Hydrangeas provide an impressive flower display during the summer season.
Varieties can be selected for size, bloom shape, colour and season.
Bigleaf hydrangeas (H. macrophylla) feature large 'mop-head' inflorescence in shades of blue, purple or pink. Smooth hydrangeas (H. arborescens) feature flat-topped inflorescence in shades of white and pink throughout summer. Panicle hydrangeas (H. paniculata) feature cone-shaped inflorescence in shades of white and pink from summer into fall.
Shrubs prefer partial shade and moist, fertile well-drained soil.
