Dreamy Hydrangeas

An angel appears to drift in a cloud of blue. The statue and 'Nikko Blue' French hydrangeas welcome you to the garden. 

Late spring and early summer bless us with some of our most beloved flowers-- hydrangeas. These shrubs look rather ordinary most of the year but transform into a magnificent profusion of color that makes our gardens glorious.

Wendy White has a backyard full of these classic beauties. Every year, clusters of pink, purple, blue, chartreuse, and white blooms grace her garden, causing woody stems to arch and strain as they try to support the many heavy flowers.
