Hydrangeas are among the most popular flowering shrubs. Native to China, Japan and North America, their strong growth habit and long flowering display makes them an ideal choice for any garden. There are hundreds of varieties in colour ranging from brilliant blue, through to soft pinks to striking reds and pure whites, and many hydrangeas also contribute vibrant leaf colour in autumn. This book provides a guide to growing hydrangeas successfully. Alongside practical information on planting, pruning and propagation are also chapters on the special qualities of garden hydrangeas, landscaping with hydrangeas, and climatic requirements, as well as recommendations for selecting hydrangeas for special sites and purposes.
