Many of us have garden plants that we find particularly appealing, and hydrangeas are among our favorites. They beckon gardeners to come and relax in the cool shade. Several types of hydrangeas can color the garden and are a group of plants that belong in every landscape.

Four main categories of hydrangeas grow in Southern gardens. The first is the big leaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla). This group is made up of the old “mophead” hydrangeas. Lacecap hydrangeas are also included in this group. This group is one of the most popular and includes many old pink and blue varieties. Nikko Blue is an improved variety in this group.
