Martha Stewart's Favorite Hydroangeas



backyard garden tips



The history and evolution of the hydrangea are long. Martha Stewart found them at the San Francisco Flower Mart back in 1991, just as they were about to become obsolete. Jerry Bolduan from Green Valley Growers didn't know Stewart. But a staff member told him that Stewart was a customer and that she should be careful. Stewart bought them anyway. The result? Martha Stewart's beautiful spread. These blooming shrubs come in many forms, from delicate lacecaps to large, puffy balls of color.

Each hydrangea variety has its own unique traits. For example, "Glowing Embers," a hydrangea that has a unique deep purple blossom, is one of them. This hydrangea typically blooms from late summer to the beginning of fall, so be sure to plant it in shade if you live in a colder climate. Unlike most hypnotizing flowering shrubs, this variety blooms on new wood as well.
