These "big-leaf" Hydrangeas need to be sited correctly for the best blooming. They need some sun to produce blooms, preferably morning to mid-day, but don't want too much direct sun.

Some varieties have all-white blooms, some have red and green flowers, and some have red blooms all season. Most have flower color that is soil pH-dependent and are blue in acidic soils, and pink in alkaline soils. Often there are blue, pink and lavender blooms, all on one plant!
