Eastern Asia is the region where Hydrangeas are from. These flowers are also known by the name Hortensia. These types of flowers grow in shrubs or bushes, most of them standing between two to three feet in height. Hydrangeas come in different colors such as blue, white, pink, red and purple.

The Hydrangea?s flowers grow in clumps with numerous little florets blooming from it. It resembles a broccoli in the sense that holding a stem of Hydrangea consists of numerous flowerets. Hydrangeas bloom prolifically from early spring to late summer, thereby making them seasonal flowers.
Florists use hydrangeas in weddings and table centerpieces as one single stem already consumes a big space that look very lovely and light when used alone or with other flower fillers. These flower types also look beautiful when they dry.
When you plan to grow your own hydrangeas in the yard or garden, note that hydrangeas prefer the morning sun than the afternoon sun.
