Hydrangeas are very popular both as cut flowers and plants for the garden because of their big, beautiful blooms. The large flowerheads look like pom poms growing on bushes that can get as tall as trees. They come in a variety of different colors and shapes.
There are over 75 species of hydrangeas, most of them native to Asia. The most widely known is the Hydrangea also called bigleaf hydrangea. When you think of lush flower gardens or additions to large bouquets, this is probably the type that comes to mind.
