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.
