Like a beacon, the macrophylla hydrangea lures us in. None of these have ever bloomed at our cottage in New Hampshire after I bought them but even the few flowers on this one are so alluring😂 Who is willing to confess they have gone out and bought one of these plants this year because of the incredible display? I totally get it. I’m just here to temper your enthusiasm and try to manage expectations (crush your joy?): if we have a cold winter you may not get many blooms. Or any. Just saying.🤣 M

This is one of the most confusing plants for plants! This kind of hydrangea is a macrophylla, or big leaf variety. There are several other types of hydrangeas, including panicale, arborescens (ilke Incrediball and Annabelle), and climbing hydrangeas). Within this category there are serrata (a category) and other hybrids, such as Endless Summer (a trademarked hybrid). Some people cover them with burlap. I don't have time or interest in that but I've heard that can help protect them from the cold.
