Hydrangea Plants
Hydrangea plants come in many different shapes and sizes. They can be either shrubs or climbing vines. The shrubs range in height from a few feet to some that can reach ten feet in height. The Pee Gee hydrangea plant may even grow as high as twenty-five feet. Many of the climbing hydrangea plants, if allowed, can reach heights of eighty feet. The blooms of a hydrangea plant can range in color from white to red or blue.

The most common form of the hydrangea plant is the shrub. These hydrangea plants generally prefer full to partial sun, and need shade from the afternoon sun in hotter climates. Most of the shrubs will bloom only on stems grown the previous year. The flowers are grown in clusters comprised of several smaller blooms. Some of these hydrangea plants are hardy, while most are tender. It is interesting to know that the color of some hydrangea plant blooms varies, depending on the pH level of the soil.

Another form of hydrangea plant is the climbing vine. Climbing hydrangea plants are very popular because of the beautiful blooms, and the non-aggressive nature in which they grow. The first few years after planting a climbing hydrangea plant will show slow growth, but the rate will increase once the plant is established.

More information about hydrangea plants can be found on websites dedicated to gardening or plants. There are many books about hydrangea plants that can be found in a local library. Nurseries and garden centers would also be good choices when researching these easy to grow, beautiful plants.
