Types of Hydrangea

 

I only learned about the many types of hydrangea when I worked at a garden center. I was familiar with the ubiquitous blue “snowball bushes” outside of homes through my suburban neighborhood. But I had no idea of the wide range of colors, leaf shapes and textures available.

If you’re not sure why your hydrangea isn’t blooming, check out my post on the subject.
