Our Favorite Hydrangeas: The Cape Cod Hydrangea Society

With so many hydrangea choices currently available to gardening enthusiasts, the selection process can be a challenge. Which hydrangea should I buy? What are some of the possibilities? This book, by members of the Cape Cod Hydrangea Society, is here to help in that process. Members have come up with a compendium of favorite hydrangeas, complete with explanations about why each variety has become a personal favorite. Seventy-two different varieties make up the collection, each with at least one accompanying photograph. The collection includes all the species typically available in local garden centers: the macrophylla mopheads and lacecaps, oakleaf hydrangeas, the serratas, arborescens, and paniculatas, climbing hydrangeas and more. The book, filled with over 200 color photos, is a source of inspiration and beauty.Because the book is organized into sections according to hydrangea species, it makes clear the distinct options available to the home gardener. It serves as an easy-to-understand overview of the world of hydrangeas. Readers are likely to find the personal comments of hydrangea society members valuable guides to making their own choices.One of the goals of the Cape Cod Hydrangea Society is to learn all we can about hydrangeas. A second, and very important, goal is to share what we learn with everyone else. This book is our way of sharing with all of you who don't live here with us on the Cape where hydrangeas thrive. We hope you love reading our hydrangea stories as much as we enjoyed compiling them.
