Hydrangeas are much-loved deciduous hardy shrubs, some of which are climbers. Their striking flowerheads come in a range of shapes, from large balls to cones. The most popular and recognisable types are mopheads and lacecaps, which have large, rounded flowerheads in shades of white, blue and pink in summer and autumn. Water hydrangeas with rainwater to help keep the flowerheads blue.

| Extra Info: | Hydrangeas will thrive in most soil types, including alkaline and acidic soil. However, the pH of the soil will change the colour of the flowers of some varieties. Some plants that usually offer pink flowers will appear blue if the soil is acidic. The young growth of hydrangeas is prone to frost damage in spring, so avoid planting in a frost pocket, and plant away from strong winds. |
| Type: | Deciduous |
| Toxicity: | Hydrangeas are considered poisonous to humans and pets. Hydrangeas contain a compound called hydrangin, which is a cyanogenic glycoside. When ingested, it can break down into hydrogen cyanide, a toxic substance that interferes with the body’s ability to use oxygen. |
