Beautiful and Bold – The Hydrangea
Hydrangeas are great plants for those who want beautiful flowering shrubs on a nearly year-round basis. These shrubs bloom from early spring right into late autumn in most climates.

This shrub thrives in the sun and shade and can grow to be 3 feet tall and 18 feet wide.

When scrutinized, the bush might have yellow flowers, which will eventually turn into red berries. It can grow to be up to 15 feet tall. This shrub is easy to maintain and adjusts well to full sun or bright partial shade environment. This is a great plant to add borders to a garden or a hint of color in a yard.
