Re: hydrangea recommendation??

Theresa, for hydrangeas try http://www.hydrangeasplus.com/. They have a huge variety from which to choose. Other shrubs for shade or part, at least in this area, are nandina, acuba and Kerria japonica in addition to Mahonia and camelias. Good luck on your search.

For zone 8-9 (Stockton, CA) in partial shade. Prefer blue. A sturdy hard-to-kill variety.

Trying to help a friend out finding some plants that might survive her care : )

Also, other recommendations for shrubs that do well in shade, can stand up to the potential of a dog occassionally running through them, and require minimal care? Something that flowers, or has some other interest would be nice! The house is rather mediteranean looking.

I'm thinking about majonia, camelia, but looking for more ideas....
