White hydrangeas: best varieties

Hydrangeas, or Hydrangea, are bushes that offer long-lasting flowering, often between June and September, in form of spherical, flattened or paniculate inflorescences. Their flowering is often very impressive and generous. They form a diverse group, bringing together many species and varieties that offer different flowering forms, for example Hydrangea macrophylla, Hydrangea paniculata and Hydrangea serrata. Some varieties are even climbing! Hydrangea flowers generally display soft hues: blue, mauve, pink, white… Varieties with white flowers are particularly elegant and graceful. These qualities make them ideal to integrate into romantic or modern gardens, where they will bring a very chic touch. They create contrast, for example alongside plants with dark or black leaves. Hydrangeas with white flowers are very easy to combine with other colourful flowerings, but can also be included in composition of a white garden, accompanied for example by Gypsophila, Achillea ptarmica ‘The Pearl’, Clematis ‘Baby Star’ or Digitalis purpurea ‘Alba’. These white flowerings will have the advantage of reflecting light and illuminating the darkest areas of your garden.
