HYDRANGEA 



NO class of shrubs is better known than the Hydrangeas, because they include some of the most showy 

 flowering plants that are found in culcivation. They grow easily, have no insect enemies, and, with 

 the exception of the Hortensis varieties are reliably hardy. A crowning feature is that they bloom 

 during the comparatively flowerless months of July to September.
