This family of lacecap and mophead hydrangeas is hardy from USDA zone 4
to 9 and bloom on new wood. These smooth leaf hydrangeas can take full sun in most northern gardens. Arborescens will require some shade in hot and humid regions. This family is
native to the United States. Blooms come early in the summer/late spring and will keep going through the summer into fall. Prune in early spring to keep bloom size smaller and stems
from flopping.
