Hydrangea Macrophylla

Hydrangea macrophylla performs best in morning sun and afternoon shade. It comes in a variety of sizes and is one of the most recognizable flowering shrubs in Southern landscapes. Known for its large blooms and classic garden appeal, it is a great choice for foundation beds, shaded borders, and cottage-style plantings. Proper placement is important, especially in the Piedmont, where afternoon sun can be intense.
