294-031D4     Hydrangea 'Sara'       
Part Shade     Zones 5-9 Cobalt Blue flowers
A best-seller because of her shorter, compact habit and because of the rich intensity of her dark cobalt flowers which turn inky purple by the end of the summer. 'Sara' holds up very well in our full sun. The florets tend to stay cupped instead of flattening.  Early summer to midsummer. bloom   4 ft. x 4 ft.

294-106D4     Hydrangea 'Sea Foam'       
Part Shade     Zones 5-9 Blue flowers
This is supposed to be very close to the original lace cap form Hydrangea macrophylla var. normalis.

The foliage is remarkably large and there is purple stippling in the stems.  Early summer to midsummer. bloom   4 ft. x 4 ft.

Sun, Part Shade     Zones 5-9 White/Violet Purple flowers
Even dried, the sterile florets show their white picotee edges and violet purple centers. The bicolored effect is "sensational." A midsized shrub for us with medium sized foliage. Slow growing.  Summer. bloom   4-5 ft. x 4-5 ft.
More   

294-025D4     Hydrangea serrata       
Part Shade     Zones 5-9 Lavender Blue flowers
This form of the species is a mid-sized shrub with lavender-blue infertile florets and bright blue fertile florets. All in all it is airy in appearance. The leaves develop dark margins as they mature. By autumn, they turn entirely burgundy with pink reverses. H. serrata forms prefer afternoon shade.  Early summer to midsummer. bloom   4 ft.

294-015D4     Hydrangea serrata 'Acuminata' ('Bluebird')       
Part Shade     Zones 5-9 Pink flowers
A graceful short lacecap Hydrangea with dark green crinkled leaves coming to a narrow point. The flowers are white when new, blushing to pink with age, and then facing downward showing their green-red reverses after the floral heads have been fertilized. The leaf stems are red. All in all, a very worthy shrub for the small garden.  Early summer to midsummer. bloom   3-3.5 ft. x 3 ft.

More   

294-117D4     Hydrangea serrata 'Grayswood Variegated'       
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 5-9 Blue/Blue flowers
This is a sport that we found in our gardens. Although the variegation is not uniform (sometimes it is gold mottled, sometimes splashed and sometimes all green or all gold), 'Grayswood' itself has such a large presence and such large leaves that any part of it that is gold can not fail to be of interest. The sizeable lace-cap flowers consist of pale blue to white sterile florets and blue fertile flowers. They are held on purple petioles.  Summer. bloom   6-8 ft. x 5 ft.

294-103D4     Hydrangea serrata 'Kiyosumi'

294-086D4     Hydrangea serrata 'Miyama Yae-murasaki'       
Part Shade     Zones 5-9 Pink to Lavender flowers
What a gorgeous Japanese cultivar. Delicate, soft pink or lavender blue, fully doubled sterile florets surround a large boss of fertile florets. The entire floral head turns red in the autumn. As the sterile florets mature, their petioles lengthen giving the floral heads the appearance of exploding fireworks. Appreciates a partial shade situation.  Early summer to midsummer. bloom   5 ft. x 5 ft.

294-010D4     Hydrangea serrata 'Preziosa' (G. Ahrends, 1961)       
Part Shade     Zones 5-9 Pink flowers
How do you praise this incredible shrub enough? Although this is an H. serrata form, it bears small rounded mop head flowers that begin white, pale green, pink or lavender but mature through the season to an intense burgundy red. At the same time, the foliage is infused with burgundy. As the flowers deepen in color so does the foliage. By autumn the show is intense. Afternoon shade please.  Early summer to midsummer. bloom   5 ft. x 4 ft.

Part Shade     Zones 5-8 White flowers
Very large rounded leaves on this shrub are up to 6 inches across and 8 inches long. These are complemented by equally broad lacecap flowers of pure white, including both fertile and sterile flowers. As the sterile florets age and their petioles extend to send them facing the earth, their reverses also are white aging to a light green in late October. A lovely Japanese selection for the woodland garden.  Summer. bloom   6 ft. x 6 ft.

294-008D4     Hydrangea 'Soeur Thérèse'

More   

294-110D4     Hydrangea 'Souvenir de Président Doumer' (Cayeaux, 1932)

More

294-078D4     Hydrangea 'Sunset'

More   

294-033D4     Hydrangea 'Supreme' ('Rose Supreme') (Pepinieres Thoby)

More   

294-017D4     Hydrangea 'Taube' (Pigeon)       
Part Shade     Zones 5-9 Cobalt Blue flowers
When visitors approach our hydrangea patch, this is the first plant they talk about. The infertile florets are huge and cobalt blue and stand out so clearly against the sky blue fertile florets. The foliage is very wide and very green. No wonder they are talking. In our gardens it stays just under 5 ft. but could grow larger. Developed by the Federal Research Institute for Horticulture, Wadenswil, Switzerland, 1979.  Early summer to midsummer. bloom   5 ft. x 4 ft.
More   

294-044D4     Hydrangea 'Tödi' (Kobel & Schutz)       
Part Shade     Zones 5-9 Lilac Blue flowers
Best suited for less acid soil. Our 'Tödi' blooms with a lilac blue cast. The individual florets are so huge and papery that we suspect the plant needs more protection from the sun. Nice large foliage for a smaller plant. Developed by the Federal Research Institute for Horticulture, Wadenswil, Switzerland, 1952.  Early summer to midsummer. bloom   3 ft. x 3 ft.
More   

294-080D4     Hydrangea 'Tovelit'       
Part Shade     Zones 5-9 Pink flowers
A low growing mop head with clusters of star shaped sterile florets which give this plant its charm. Once again, in our acidic soil, this does not tend to be pink but more mauve going to burgundy.  Summer. bloom   3 ft. x 3 ft.
More   

294-081D4     Hydrangea 'Trophée' ('Trophy') (Lemoine, 1915)       
Part Shade     Zones 5-9 Blue flowers
The blue heads mature to lilac blue. Overall, the flower heads are smaller and composed of smaller flowers than many of our blues. Seems to hold up well in our sun. Nice broad green foliage on a smaller shrub.  Early summer to midsummer. bloom   3-4 ft. x 3 ft.
More   

294-051D4     Hydrangea 'Veitchii'

More

294-050D4     Hydrangea 'Wave Hill'       
Part Shade     Zones 5-9 Blue flowers
The foliage here is a blend of green, chartreuse and cream. Not so arresting at first glance as H. 'Lemon Wave,' its subtler beauty may be more suitable for a peaceful garden. Similar in flower to H. m. v. 'Mariesii'.  Early summer to midsummer. bloom   5 ft. x 5 ft.
More

294-082D4     Hydrangea 'Weidner's Blue'       
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 7-9 Blue flowers

More   

795-001D4     Hymenanthera alpina       
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 8-10 White flowers
New Zealand. We grow this shrub for the complex layering of near-naked branches and the bounty of persistant white berries that decorate those branches. The sparse foliage is dark green and yew-like spiralling in a loose arrangement down the branches. The branches are ash gray and very visible. Although we were told this requires male and female plants to bear fruit, that has not proven to be true. We have grown this successfully in a low water gravel border and in a dry part shade setting.  Early summer. bloom   6 ft. x 3 ft.

Sun, Part Shade     Zones 7-9 Yellow flowers
The yellow-gold young foliage of this shrub is splotched lime green as it matures. The leaves will tolerate our Pacific NW sun, but it is perhaps best used to lighten up a part shade situation.  Summer to fall. bloom   4 ft. x 4 ft.

295-016     Hypericum patulum 'Variegatum'       
Sun     Zones 7-9 Bright Yellow flowers
