Description
Hydrangea commonly named the hortensia, is a genus of more than 70 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Korea, and Japan. Most are shrubs that range from 3 ft to 9 ft tall, but some are small trees, and others vines reaching up to 100 ft by climbing up trees.
The flowers of many hydrangea act as natural pH indicators, sporting blue flowers when the soil is acidic and pink ones when the soil is alkaline. This Hydrangea flower literally glows with an iridescent blue color, indicating an acidic soil.
