"Hydrangeas have so many winning attributes, it's hard to imagine an easier group of plants to grow, or any other flowering shrubs capable of providing vibrant color for so long a season"

- The latest developments in hybridization
- Planting, pruning, pests and propagation
- Choosing the best plant for the location
- Special advice on growing red, pink and blue blooms
- Using hydrangeas in garden design
- Companion plantings
- Growing in containers
- Caring for cut blooms, and enjoying hydrangeas in the home.
