This is a terrific little inexpensive book on hydrangeas. It was published in 2001/2002 by a New Zealand horticulturist. The pictures are luscious and most are labeled with specific variety names. However, this is not just a coffee table book. It contains easy to understand, accurate information on growing hydrangeas. The chapter on pruning is excellent and includes a section on pruning tree form hydrangeas. I would highly recommend this book.
This is a wonderful and inexpensive book with many beautiful pictures and lots of useful information on hydrangeas. I will reference this book over and over.
Every page has color pictures on it. The bulk of the book describes each variety of hydrangea. There's a little info on planting.
I loved this beautiful book. In addition to gorgeous pictures and practical advice for the home gardener, the author adds some interesting history about hydrangeas. If you love hydrangeas, this is a lovely little book at a great price.
Gorgeous pictures and detailed pictures, well-written and expert text. Was going to give it as a gift - but couldn't part with it! Only wish I had lots of space to plant lots of hdrangeas.
