Botanical description
Habitus: a genus of flowering plants from the Hydrangeaceae family. It can be a deciduous shrub and a deciduous or evergreen climber.
Flower: small, densely clustered in dome-shaped or flat-shaped inflorescences, lavender, purple, pink or white flowers (depends on soil pH)
Hydrangea likes moist soil and plenty of water. In addition to moisture, the soil should be permeable and nutritious. It thrives best in sheltered, semi-shady places, but it will grow without problems in direct sunlight, in which case we will have to water it more often.

It is planted as an ornamental shrub in yards, city parks, gardens.
Special use
Round hydrangea blooms are valued as dried flowers in decorative arrangements. We cut the stems and hang them to dry in a dry and airy room for several weeks.

It is propagated by seeds or more often vegetatively, by semi-woody cuttings that we take in summer.
