PLANT OF THE MONTH Oakleaf Hydrangea - Hydrangea Quercifolia
Lacecap Hydrangea - Hydrangea macrophylla normalis This hydrangea fits nicely into woodland gardens. As with mophead hydrangeas, their flower color varies depended on soil acidity. Flower color ranges from blues in acidic soil to pinks in alkaline soil (purple hues being the mid range). The flowers are more subtle than those of the mophead, but make a magnificent show in the summer.
Shooting Star Hydrangea - Hydrangea macrophylla 'Shooting Star' This is a cultivar of the Lacecap Hydrangea. It has double white flowers shaped like stars. This hydrangea is hardy in the Washington DC area, but is most often sold as a houseplant. This means it has been grown in a greenhouse and is not acclimated to our climate. However, if you plant it outdoors in a protected loctation there is a good chance it will acclimate itself and survive the winter. It is a very unique and pretty cultivar and worth trying.
