Are All Hydrangeas Outdoor Plants?

Hydrangeas are one of the most popular flowering shrubs, with their showy clusters of large, colorful blooms. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, making them a versatile choice for landscaping and garden design.

But are all hydrangeas outdoor plants? The answer is no; some varieties can be grown indoors as well.

Outdoor hydrangeas require full sun to partial shade, depending on the variety. They need ample water and should be planted in soil that is slightly acidic (pH 5.5-6.2).

Outdoor hydrangeas can be divided into two main categories: mophead and lacecap hydrangeas. Mophead hydrangeas have large, round flower heads while lacecap hydrangeas have flattened flowers that look like ruffled caps. Both types of outdoor hydrangeas come in a variety of colors including white, pink, blue and purple.

Indoor hydrangeas can also be divided into two categories: reblooming and non-reblooming. Reblooming varieties flower repeatedly throughout the year while non-reblooming varieties flower once per season or less frequently. Indoor hydrangeas need bright but indirect sunlight and should be watered regularly; they prefer a slightly acidic soil with a pH between 5.0.

Indoor Varieties

  • Endless Summer Hydrangea: This reblooming variety produces clusters of pink or blue flowers from spring through fall.
  • Limelight Hydrangea: This reblooming variety produces white or greenish-white flowers from summer through fall.
  • Oakleaf Hydrangea: This non-reblooming variety produces large white flowers in late spring or early summer.

Outdoor Varieties

  • Annabelle Hydrangea:: This mophead type produces large white flower heads in early summer.
  • : Nikko Blue Hydrangea:: This mophead type produces deep blue flower heads from early summer through fall.
  • : Peegee Hydrangea:: This lacecap type produces white flowers from mid-summer to fall.

In conclusion, not all hydrangeas are outdoor plants; some varieties can also be grown indoors with proper care and attention. With its versatility and beauty, it’s no wonder why these blooming shrubs are so popular!
