RE: Hydrangea serrata 'Blue Bird'


Hi, Jill:

While it is always risky to disagree with tags, this time I do. Everything I have seen on Hydrangea serrata says they like part-shade.'Bluebird' sounds special with pink sterile flowers surrounding blue fertile flowers in the center. This particular cultivar is supposed to be particularly drought tolerant.

The Plant of the Month, ( Hydrangea s. 'Preziosa') on my website "Adventures in Gardening," (www.gardenguy.com) might be of interest to you. The pictures show the same plant during the course of a season. Just click to enlarge the pix.

Dear Listmembers,
    I just purchased Hydrangea serrata 'Blue Bird'. The culture requirements
say full sun and will reach 3-5 feet.
