Soil type: Any
Flower colour: Red, Pink, Blue, Purple, White

With immense billowy blossoms, hydrangeas flaunt an old-fashioned charm that is hard to resist. Colours also beguile with clear blues, vibrant pinks, frosty whites, lavender, and rose sometimes all blooming on the same plant!

The colours of some H. macrophylla flowers are affected by the relative availability of aluminium ions in the soil. Acidic soils with a pH of less than 5.5 produce blue flowers; soils with a pH greater than 5.5 product pink flowers. White flowers are not affected by pH.

Unrivalled in the shrub world, these elegant ladies are easy to cultivate, tolerate almost any soil, and produce flowers in mid-summer through fall (when little else may be in bloom). Hydrangeas are excellent for a range of garden sites from group plantings to shrub borders to containers.

Planting

• Most hydrangeas thrive in rich, porous, somewhat moist soils. Add compost to enrich poor soil.
• They prefer full sun in the morning, with some afternoon shade; however, many will grow and bloom in partial shade. This is especially true for the bigleaf hydrangeas (see Recommended Varieties below).
• Plant in spring or fall.
• Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and 2 to 3 times as wide.
• Set the plant in the hole and fill it half full of soil. Water. After the water is drained, fill the rest of the hole with soil.
• Water thoroughly.
• Space multiple hydrangeas about 3 to 10 feet apart.

Care
For the first year or two after planting and during any drought, be sure hydrangeas get plenty of water. Leaves will wilt if the soil is too dry.
