YOUR GUIDE TO GROWING BEAUTIFUL, BOLD BLOOMS
Not only is the hydrangea one of the most loved flowers in the world, but they are also reliable and easy to grow in Australia. Used by gardeners far and wide, hydrangeas offer beautiful bouquets of clustered flowers. With their flamboyant flower heads in cool blue, pink or white, they are one of the signature blooms of the summertime garden.
Traditionally a shrub for shady garden beds or side paths, hydrangeas have spread their wings in recent years, with a bunch of new sun-loving varieties appearing on the scene. They've also scaled down a little in size, making great potted plants for decks and patios.
GROWING AT A GLANCE
• Climate: Hydrangeas can thrive in most climates except for arid regions, where they may struggle.
• Soil: They prefer moist, nutrient-rich soil with good drainage for healthy growth.
• Water: These plants require consistent moisture, especially during their active growth and flowering periods, so regular and reliable watering is crucial for their well-being.
• Aspect: The best location for hydrangeas is in partial shade or dappled light, particularly under trees where they can receive sunlight while protected from intense heat.
• Flowering season: Hydrangeas bloom from November to February, displaying a beautiful array of colours including shades of pink, blue, and white.

Yuletide ANGELS
When Renee Speranza and Dom Orlando tell people they are Christmas tree stylists, the assumption is they're hired by people who have cash to splash, and live in homes that require enormous and perfectly styled decorations. While this can be true, the pair, both mums, also work with families who need help for some very different reasons.
