A favorite indoor-outdoor flower adorns the summer in colorful bursts
of petals.
Perhaps the most abundantly blooming plant, hydrangeas have captivated
gardeners and cultivators alike with their old-fashioned charm and
tantalizing colors. From late spring to early autumn, they burst from
the ends of stems in natural bouquets of vibrant pink, stunning white,
lavender, rose, and blue. With over 75 species and 600 named cultivars
that range over the world, the variety makes them perfect for any
occasion.
Georgianna Lane's entrancing photography showcase the varieties of
nature's firework flower, such as the intensely colored Alpenglühen and
the airy Lanarth White, while Naomi Slade imparts her gardening
expertise for the fullest bloom of this rewarding flower. Readers will
discover the wide array that hydrangeas have to offer, and why these
bountiful blossoms are becoming increasingly popular as houseplants and
gifts.
