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.
