Hydrangea

 


Common names:  hydrangea, big-leaved hydrangea, hortensia

Description:  Four-petaled flowers grow in round clusters that are usually 4 to 8 inches wide. Coarsely-toothed leaves grow 6 to 8 inches long on woody shrubs.  Flowers bloom in blue, white, lavender and pink.

Special care:  Blooms live two to four weeks.  Provide bright, indirect light.  Provide plenty of water to prevent wilting and remove excess water from saucers. Maintain an evenly moist soil medium, but be cautious of over watering, which can damage the plant.  Plants in bloom do not need fertilizer.
