Hydrangea
Common names: hydrangea, hortensia
Hydrangea (scientific name: Hydrangea) is a genus of about 100 species of flowering
plants native from Japan to China, Himalaya, Indonesia, as well as throughout
America.
They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though more widely cultivated temperate
species are all deciduous.
Four-petaled flowers grow in round clusters that are usually 4 to 8 inches wide.
Flowers bloom in white, lavender or pink.
While hydrangeas have been a garden or landscape favorite for years, they have
become a popular cut flower to enhance garden-style flower arrangements. |
