Hydrangea

Hydrangea is a genus that has a large diverse number of varieties that are worthy of most landscape gardens. Certain varieties begin flowering by early summer and others have flowers that extend into the fall. Depending on your taste, the dry flowers heads at the end of the growing season may be left on the plant or cut put in a vase for winter enjoyment. In general, the large flower heads are panicle (cone shape) or ball shape (mop Head) and have colors of blooms from white, green, pink, shades of red, blue, and purple. Several have flowers that vary in color as they mature while others have different color of flowers at the same time on the same plant for example vanilla-strawberry & pinky Winky. Also, some are grafted and grown into small tree forms. Because of the large number of varieties of hydrangea, their large showy flowers and their great diversity, they are extensively used and for good reason. ​
