We’ve got the blues! – And 9 other outstanding varieties of hydrangea.
Hydrangeas are dependable long-blooming shrubs that are hardy, virtually pest and disease free, and they are easy to grow.
Hydrangeas come in all sizes, from large growing old-fashioned “Pee Gee,” to the cone-shaped flowers of “Pink Diamond” or “Tardiva.” These hydrangeas form large shrubs with outstanding summer, fall and winter interest.
Blue Hydrangea bloom all summer with soil pH determining the color. Add acidic fertilizer for intense blue color, or add lime for pink flowers. These new and improved varieties bloom on current seasons wood making them reliable bloomers even here in Zone 5, Somerset County.
Oakleaf Hydrangea has large leaves with huge white panicle flowers and intense red fall foliage – simply amazing! We are now growing dwarf varieties of Oakleaf “Sikes Dwarf” for smaller areas.
With all hydrangeas – don’t cut off the late blooms – let them boldly stand tall among the winter snow. They look great!
