Hydrangeas are wonderfully versatile. These hardy all-rounders can be enjoyed as formal shrubs in a courtyard, as a splash of colour in a woodland garden, a container plant on a patio or as a source of exceptionally long-lasting cut flowers. Their popularity continues to increase and many exciting new varieties are now available. This book includes: over 180 colour photographs; more than 200 species and cultivars described, including the more unusual hydrangeas; a comprehensive gardening guide covering the history of hydrangeas, their growing requirements; the landscaping potential of the various types and how to get the best of your cut flowers.
