Description

Wild hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens) is a hardy and adaptable native shrub with tremendous horticultural and ecological value. Their abundant white to pink blooms, produced from June to July, are both eye-catching and attract a wide range of vitally important pollinators. Sam Hoadley, Manager of Horticultural Research, delves into the top performing species and cultivars in Mt. Cuba Centerโ€™s Trial Garden and discusses how to successfully incorporate and care for these versatile shrubs in your home landscape. A tour of the hydrangeas completes the class.
