Today we’re going back to June with Carla Zambelli Mudry, looking at some photos from hydrangea season in her garden in Malvern, Pennsylvania.
I have a deep love for hydrangeas. I rediscovered them as an adult visiting the Hamptons in New York. They are an integral part of the summer landscape up there and are very tough and indestructible plants. I love the diversity of hydrangeas available. Among my favorites are those with airy fairy lacecap flowers.
I think every garden should have hydrangeas, just like I think every garden should have roses.
Another great species of hydrangea native to the southeastern United States is the oakleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia, Zones 5–9), with big, conical flower heads and beautifully bold foliage.
