Paniculatas, arborescens. Anything hardy in Z5 and colder.
Here's Limelight after it's lime green stage. Soon it will turn pink.
Let's see pics of hardy hydrangeas
Pink Diamond. One of my all time favorites, although I think Limelight is my most favorite. Again, it is just starting to pink. When it turns pink, it has the old rose coloring.
Arborescens White Dome. Again starting to change colors to it's antique white.
So, let's see some of yours!
Forever and ever Blue Heaven hydrangea here and it's pink! (I just planted it last year and had to wait to see what color it decided to be lol). Next year, I am going to try to change the color if I can, could be that she don't want to change, but I'll try lol.
That's sure a beauty for Z5! I've considered trying that one, and now I will.
Here are some of mine Pollyk
That's a great looking one, Jim! Do you know who it is?
Here's my Limelights.
And a closer pic.
Gorgeous pics! That looks to be about full size, do you think?
I believe Limelights get to be about 6-8 x 6-8. They are probably about 7x7. I need to really trim them back this year to get them fuller around the middle. I love these as I don't do anything to them other than cut the flowers off in the spring. They do require water when the temps stay in the 90s for a time if there is no rain.
Thanks for the compliment. I am planting a row of Vanilla Strawberries this year and am very excited about them.
But cutting the flowers off in the spring can sure be time consuming when they get that big. Can't wait to see the Vanilla Strawberries when they get large. A whole row should be gorgeous.
I don't know the names of mine, except my Annabelle.....They came with the house when we bought. I know they are pretty old, because my husband lived in the house when he grew up.(We bought from the estate) He said they always have been there. But I love them.....
I do know 'Annabelle' only because I did put her there.....
Blue when it first comes out....
This is another one......
And these two are new, but I don't know there names either.....Anyone have any ideas what mine are????
Definitely beautiful. I wish I could help, but I really don't know much about hydrangeas other than the paniculatas, and the arborescens, as that's all that's hardy here.
So some one hopefully will come help identify, and I will just admire. .
I just love Hydrangeas.....They have so many new kinds now....And they are just Beautiful......I like to look too pollyk....i enjoy just looking at all the pictures in the forum......
