Plant of the Week – Hydrangea

There’s a reason hydrangeas have been beloved for generations — few plants offer such bold beauty with such effortless grace. With their oversized, cloud-like blooms and lush green foliage, hydrangeas bring instant elegance to any space. Whether planted in garden beds, borders, or containers, they turn heads and soften landscapes in all the right ways.

Native to parts of Asia and the Americas, hydrangeas have a long-standing place in gardens across the world. They were first cultivated in Japan centuries ago and later made their way to Europe and the United States, where Southern gardeners especially embraced their dramatic blooms and old-fashioned charm. Over time, they’ve become a symbol of heartfelt emotion, abundance, and timeless beauty.

Hydrangeas also love slightly acidic soil, which not only keeps them happy and healthy but can even influence bloom color in some varieties — think rich blues in more acidic soil and pinks in more neutral conditions. A little soil amendment goes a long way toward helping these beauties thrive.

They’re not just beautiful — they’re surprisingly low-maintenance, too. With a little morning sun, afternoon shade, and consistent watering, hydrangeas will flourish in North Texas gardens. Plus, they make stunning cut flowers for arrangements that last well beyond the bloom.

If you’re looking for a plant that adds softness, color, and timeless character to your garden, hydrangeas are a perfect choice. Stop by this week to explore our beautiful selection and let us help you find the right variety for your space.
