Who can forget the ever-changing blooms of hydrangeas–changing blue in acidic soil, pink in that with more lime and reminiscent of those science class projects using litmus paper. And then of course the white hydrangeas, with blooms resembling large snowballs that as children would often amaze us. As adults, they still do, which is why growing hydrangeas is so much fun. They’re not only easy to grow but are also quite hardy and resistant to most pests and diseases, making it even easier to care for hydrangeas. With numerous varieties to choose from, you’re certain to find one that’s right for you. Description from gardeningknowhow.com
