Renishaw Hall Gardens – The Hydrangea Edition

It's August so that can only mean one thing at Renishaw Hall Gardens – hydrangeas. So it's time to let the photographs do the talking. Feast your eyes on hydrangeas of all colours and varieties. The lace caps with the tiny fertile flowers in the middle surrounded by the large sterile petals. Mopheads hydrangeas with large heads full of colourful flowers. The thirsty Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle' were getting a drenching from the sprinkler. The small white flowers making up the large bloom head make for a stunning display. That's enough words now so just enjoy the display.

  2. Ooooo what a feast for the eyes! The hydrangeas are at their best this time of year. I am trying to dry a couple of blue heads at the moment; hopefully a little bit of colour will be preserved.

  5. I love hydrangeas too and have a pink one in the garden. I love the huge mop head ones and wish I had the room for one. They look so good too in cut flower arrangements.

    Well, I'm going to have to sit back and light a post-hydrangea cigarette now...

  9. Stunning and so many varieties. Our poor hydrangea is getting swamped by an over zealous Japanese Rose but we have a new home planned for it where hopefully it will thrive. A friend also has an unusual mauve one that I am planning to take a cutting from.
