Did you know? Hydrangeas were considered bad luck in the Victorian era. However, today, they are one of the most loving flowers, whether for growing or as a gesture. They come in a myriad of colours, depending on the type and growth. Generally, their colour depends on the soil’s acidity level. Being a plant with versatile shade options makes it a preferred choice for adding to different bouquets. However, to make it a part of your floral arrangement, it is imperative to understand every shade’s intent.
The blog walks you through some of the most common hydrangeas that can be a part of your gifting bouquets or gardens.
7 Beautiful Hydrangeas for Gifting and Growing
Panicle, or tree hydrangea, are cone-shaped flowers in a creamy white colour. They grow quickly in an upright position and commonly bloom in late summer. The flowers even turn into a light pink shade in the early fall. Panicles are tolerant of all soil types, pollution, and urbanisation. However, remember that these flowers are toxic to humans and animals.
The flower originates in the Himalayas and China, and is a beautiful choice for every garden. Although a slow grower at first, this type of hydrangea quickly climbs and crosses 40 feet once its vines grow. It is generally in pristine white; however, there’s a subtype called “Miranda” with creamy yellow leaves. These flowers bloom beautifully in full sun and spread an unforgettable fragrance all around.
A summer flower with fluffy petals, mophead hydrangea can be spotted by its pink, blue, purple, and red blossoms. This plant grows on old wood and blooms one year after the onset of buds. Popular as the florist’s hydrangea, the flower doesn’t require pruning. In fact, the old plant protects the new buds on cold days. A common variety of mophead hydrangea is Nikko Blue with rich blue petals.
We all observe green leaves. However, green flowers? They are rare, and that’s why the limelight hydrangeas stand out. The blush green variety of blooms is flattering for every garden. However, they start turning pink with the changing season. It is a quickly-growing plant that reaches 8 feet, and steals the “limelight”, as the name suggests.
Have you ever witnessed a gorgeous mix of rose-pink and blue-purple flowers? They are BloomStruck Bigleaf, a type of hydrangea that can grow on both old and new wood. These blossoms have strong stems and red veins, adding to the beauty of the garden. The best part about BloomStruck is that they are resistant to heat and powdery mildew.
Blue Deckle is commonly found in Japanese mountains and is spotted by its frilly flowers. The colour is due to the soil variation, with lavender found in less acidic and light blue in more acidic soil. This plant with compact shrubby flowers grows perfectly between July and August. As autumn arrives, the colour of leaves changes to purple and red, adding to the beauty of the forest.
Oakleaf looks exactly like its name, and has pink or creamy white flowers on the stem. These blossoms with lobed edge leaves grow on oak trees and are widely found in the USA. The attractive flowers grow on old wood and don’t need pruning. However, you can always trim the branches if you want a more polished look.
