hydrangea

Clustered garden flowers

A hydrangea is a flowering shrub with large, showy clusters of blossoms in shades of blue, pink, purple, or white.

The color often depends on soil acidity—more acidic soil produces bluer flowers.

Hydrangeas are popular in gardens and as cut flowers: The hydrangeas along the fence were in full bloom.
