#FlowerFriday – My Fav Hydrangeas

One of my fav garden plants is the hydrangea aka the snowball bush! They come in so many different styles and shapes that you are bound to find one that will work in your garden. Just check out the variety in this link: https://yhoo.it/2vw5iJx

Not to mention that hydrangeas will grow will in even poor soils and in either full sun or partial shade. Did you know that you can change their color (as long as they are one of the standard bushes). Make your soil acidic by using aluminum sulfate (or plant food for acid loving plants) to get blue flowers. Add lime to make your soil more basic and get pink flowers.

Hydrangeas also have many different leaf types. There are oak leaf hydrangea and also plants with variegated leaves. So much variety for a plant that’s easy to grow and care for!

Here’s a photo of one type of hydrangea that’s growing in Bryant Park.
