Hydrangeas: what are they?

The hydrangea is mostly considered a shrub and blooms in the spring and summer. Hydrangeas grow quickly and often fills in a space in just one summer. Nowadays we can grow many hydrangea varieties that were not possible before. Some newer hydrangeas grow in colder climates, some are so small they will fit into the perennial border, and others have amazingly large blooms and deep colors. Hydrangeas are very diverse!

Hydrangea flowers

Hydrangeas usually bloom in the summer, with some blooming earlier (in the spring) and some even later. The flowers of a hydrangea bloom in shades of pink, purple, blue, white, green, yellow and some red varieties. A popular one is the hydrangea paniculate ‘Little Spooky’, a flowering plant of the family Hydrangeaceae native to the south and east of China, Korea, Japan and Russia.

Hydrangea macrophylla

Hydrangea shrub

Hydrangea shrubs are a species of flowering plants. They reach an average height of 1-3 meters. They are famous for their extensive and colorful flower heads. The pH level of the soil determines the color of their flowers. Hortensia shrubs grow and bloom best in loose, well-drained and nutrient-rich soil, with a fair amount of sunlight in the morning and some shade in the afternoon. Most hydrangeas flower from the spring until around October and have a beautiful winter appearance! Hydrangea shrubs are timeless and popular. Hydrangeas can range in colors, with many shrubs producing several types of variations. They can be bright blue or vibrant pink and beautiful shades of white. You will find almost all colors in our range! Hydrangea shrubs tend to be natural growers, thriving in many varieties of soil types.
