Let’s get
exploring 2 of main types of Hydrangeas used in the landscapes.
First is….
Hydrangea
anomala subsp. Petiolaris climbing hydrangea
This is a great choice for shade areas but beware that
once it gets to growing it will attach itself to anything with its rootlike
feelers.
Also this plant is very self-sufficient once established.
Bloom time
is in midsummer, with delicate white flowers and oval shaped leaves. Also grows
well in containers just less vigorous.
Hydrangea
arborescence ‘Annabelle’
The
Annabelle variety is a real show stopper with its green/white blooms which can
be the size of a basketball. The leaves are a beautiful dark green with a
silver underside and small hairs.
Bloom time
is midsummer to late summer. When it rains the flower heads do get pushed down
so you may be out in the gardening propping it up, but I think it is well worth
it.
Next week we will be discovering 3 more
Hydrangea
quercifolia
Hydrangea
paniculata
Hydrangea
macrophylla
If you have
any questions for me, I would love to hear from you!
