HYDRANGEA
— See also Vine Section.
Approximately 23 species of vines, shrubs and even trees make up the genus
Hydrangea. Some species do quite well in almost full shade. The species with
flattened or lacecap blooms have many inconspicuous fertile flowers in the
center surrounded by infertile colorful sepals called ray-florets. The domed or
mophead blooms have only infertile ray-florets. Hydrangeas take well, and even
benefit from proper pruning. A general rule of thumb is to prune right after
blooming; then take the flowerheads indoors for drying.
Hydrangea anomala
— See Vine Section
Hydrangea arborescens
— (-30°F, USDA Zones 4-9) A very hardy,
versatile hydrangea that can grow 5-10' tall and equally wide. Blooming on the

— (-10°F, USDA Zones 6-9) This hydrangea is considered to be a small tree or
large shrub, reaching up to 12' in height and even more in width. There can be
considerable variability in the ray-florets, emerging first a creamy green then
becoming a pink lavender and deepening to more mauve tones over a long bloom
season in July and August. Some ray-florets stay in light shades fading to
almost white. We prune 1/3 of our stems back every year to create a layered
effect when blooming.

Hydrangea integrifolia
—
Evergreen! See Vine
Section.
Hydrangea macrophylla
— (-10°F, USDA Zones 6-9) These wonderful big-leafed hydrangeas are divided into
two groups, the Hortensia Group (mopheads) and the Lacecaps. Both are deciduous,
rounded shrubs up to 6' in height and 8' in width and do well in a variety of
garden environments including the coast. The 4-8" leaves are semiglossy and
lightly to coarsely toothed. Flowers appear in mid to late summer, primarily on
old wood so prune right after flowering. Bloom color is often affected by soil
pH: adding aluminum sulfate acidifies the soil to produce blue flowers and
adding lime will neutralize or create a more basic soil bringing out the pinks.
White flowers are not affected. H. macrophylla can take full sun in mild
summer areas but profits from some afternoon shade where the summer sun is more
intense.
