Hydrangeas

From the exquisite lacecaps to the blowzy mopheads, the hydrangea is enjoying a renaissance among American gardeners. This volume showcases the vast array of the hydrangea's charms: its legend and lore including the mysteries of its colors; varieties that climb or grow in containers; the range of species, from wild to oak-leaf to Sargent. In addition, you'll learn how best to dry hydrangeas, how to make the most prudent cut, what other plants make the "best neighbors"--even how best to accent them with garden structures and trees. Complete with a list of display gardens and sources, no other book pays homage to the lasting contribution and lush blooms of these treasured garden plants.Bowman, Daria Price is the author of 'Hydrangeas' with ISBN 9781586630072 and ISBN 1586630075.
