Blue Hydrangea

I just keep taking photos of my beautiful Hydrangeas.  Every year I buy some and they never last in our high mountain desert climate. But how can anyone resist their beauty?

Most Hydrangeas are hardy in zones 5-9.  

All hydrangeas will bloom and grow well in morning sun and afternoon shade. This is especially true of the most commonly grown hydrangeas, the macrophyllas.  They love well drained and non-clay soil.
