Hydrangeas are one of the most popular plants in America. They can be grown indoors our outside in the garden, allowing their blooms to be enjoyed almost anywhere at anytime of the year. Florist-grown hydrangeas can provide double the enjoyment since their flowers can be enjoyed indoors first, and then be pruned back and transplanted outdoors for a second bloom later in the season. The two most popular types of hydrangea are mophead and lacecap. Mopheads have large, rounded heads, while lacecaps have a smaller cluster of flowers surrounded by a halo of larger flowers around their edge. Most hydrangeas grown today come in shades of pink, blue or white but the color can be altered with the addition of lime or aluminum sulfate. In the garden, hydrangeas do best in a morning sun-afternoon shade location and look great when plants under trees or other larger shrubs. Keep your plants watered on a regular basis so the soil is moist but not wet. Most hydrangeas perform best when fed a couple times during the growing season with an acid food. We have a great selection of hydrangeas available and invite you to stop by and see them in their full-blooming glory! |
