Hydrangea

A mainstay of foundation gardens for generations, hydrangea has recently expanded its look to include so many new flowering possibilities. A long-time favorite in the South, hydrangea are now available in many exciting cultivars more than capable of handling colder climates. Few blooms provide more showy appeal than hydrangea: long-blooming, with showers of magnificent clusters of colorful flowers, and still just as easy to grow. All it asks for is plenty of moisture and a sunny to partly shaded spot where it can spread out and make itself comfortable, just like we all enjoy doing in summertime.
