Complete Hydrangeas

A definitive book for hydrangea lovers.

Not enough pruning information

Glyn Church is a New Zealand horticulturist; he wrote this gem of a reference and made it easy to read. From the history of where hydrangeas come from to their long-lasting color, he covers a wealth of practical insights that are equally valuable whether you are a home gardener or professional landscaper. There are plenty of colorful and concise pictures. Not all hydrangeas thrive in every zone but by tapping into this great source of written listings you are bound to find something to plant in your area. Besides the many cultivars that are shown Mr. Church gives you information on pests, disease, pruning and propagation.Further organizations and suppliers are listed in the back of the book and you are not limited to just the United States. Still need some help? Try his other resources that he gives you that are on the internet. There is something for everyone and if you are looking for a starter book on this subject or like me, you love to collect hydrangeas, buy this useful book.

This is one of several books that I have on hydrangeas. I found it to be a well written book filled with information that is useful, and easy to understand. There was information in it that was not in current books I have on the subject. This is a must for any gardener that is looking to purchase their first hydrangea of for those that have many. You can't go wrong here.

I find this to be a more interesting and informative book that was able to fill in some informational gaps that I see I had missed in other books on this subject. and did it in a easy to read, fun way.Thanks!

Tried for years to get some good advice in growing and caring for hydrangeras. This bookanswers most of my questions.

Written by a true authority on the hydrangea plant classes and their strengths, this book is very helpful to have in the home library. It was a great source for me as I taught others about the types to grow in our Central Florida climate where it is very hot.

Book is so incomplete doesn’t explain anything ,growing from seeds or winter care , just a weak picture bookNot worth the money

The history of their introduction into Europe and notes on how to cultivate the different types of hydrangea is second to none.Beautifully photographed, the list of different hydrangea varieties and their descriptions, planting notes etc is extensive, but the plethora of cultivars produced in the last few years are not listed. Even so, this is a very, very useful book and I am very glad I bought it.

The photographs are beautiful throughout and I enjoyed reading it. I learned a huge amount about my favourite flowers and recommend it to others who have an interest in hydrangeas.

A present which was very much appreciated.

Great 👍 to help you care for your plants

Very handy like the garden book
