Hydrangeas

Don’t rein in the magic when shrubs such as ‘Nikko Blue’ hydrangeas put on a boisterous show. Plant them on the street side of the fence for all the neighbors to see. Granted, folks will be jealous, but share a bloom and they’ll soon get over it.

Other hydrangeas, such as ‘Annabelle,’ ‘Bella Anna,’ ‘Endless Summer,’ ‘Incrediball,’ ‘Limelight,’ and ‘Snowflake,’ are just as good. A sturdy, white fence provides a classic backdrop for a dynamic display.
