 A great little beauty of a book. June 22, 2009
E. Flanagan (Geneva, Switzerland)
I loved this beautiful book. In addition to gorgeous pictures and practical advice for the home gardener, the author adds some interesting history about hydrangeas. If you love hydrangeas, this is a lovely little book at a great price.
Beautiful Photos. December 21, 2008

I bought this book in hardcover. Makes a great coffee table book. It has beautiful full page photos and was very informational about identifying the different types of Hydrangeas. Unfortunately I live in California so cannot get my Hydrangeas to grow, but if I lived in a wetter place Im sure Id love this book more.

This is a terrific little inexpensive book on hydrangeas. It was published in 2001/2002 by a New Zealand horticulturist. The pictures are luscious and most are labeled with specific variety names. However, this is not just a coffee table book. It contains easy to understand, accurate information on growing hydrangeas. The chapter on pruning is excellent and includes a section on pruning tree form hydrangeas. I would highly recommend this book.

Every page has color pictures on it. The bulk of the book describes each variety of hydrangea. There's a little info on planting.
