Hydrangea (/ha?'dre?nd?i?/;common names hydrangea or hortensia) is a genus of 70-75 types of flowering vegetation indigenous to southern and eastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, the Himalayas, and Indonesia) and the Americas. Definitely the greatest species diversity is eastern Asia, notably China, Japan, and Korea. Most are shrubs 1 to 3 meters extra tall, but some are small trees and shrubs, among others lianas attaining up to 30 m (98 feet) by climbing up trees and shrubs. They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though the extensively cultivated temperate kinds are all deciduous.Having been introduced to the Azores, H. macrophylla is very common now, particularly on Faial, which is recognized as the "blue island" because of the multitude of hydrangeas present on the island.Life cycleHydrangea flowers are created from planting season to late fall; they increase in flowerheads (corymbs or panicles) most often at the ends of the stems.

Typically the flowerheads contain two types of plants: small non-showy bouquets in the guts or interior of the flowerhead, and large, showy blossoms with large colorful sepals (tepals). These showy flowers tend to be prolonged in a engagement ring, or to the surface of the tiny flowers. Plants in outrageous populations routinely have few to none of the showy flowers, while cultivated hydrangeas have been bred and chosen to have more of the larger type bouquets.There are two flower arrangements in hydrangeas with Corymb style inflorescens, which includes the commonly grown "bigleaf hydrangea"--Hydrangea macrophylla. Mophead plants are large circular flowerheads resembling pom-poms or, as the name implies, the brain of a mop. In contrast, lacecap flowers bear round, flat flowerheads with a center core of subdued, small flowers surrounded by outer rings of larger flowers having showy sepals or tepals.
The blossoms of some rhododendrons and viburnums can appear, initially, much like those of some hydrangeas.Earth and colors acidityIn most types the bouquets are white, however in some kinds (notably H. macrophylla), can be blue, red, pink, light purple, or dark crimson. In these species the colour is damaged by the presence of aluminum ions which can be found or tied up depending after the land pH. For H. h and macrophylla. serrata cultivars, the flower color can be dependant on the relative acidity of the soil: an acidic soil (pH below 7), will have available aluminum ions and typically produce flowers that are blue to purple, whereas an alkaline soil (pH above 7) will tie up aluminum ions and result in pink or red flowers.
This is caused by a color change of the blossom pigments in the existence of aluminium ions that can be adopted into hyperaccumulating plants.[6] Bringing down the pH of potting soils or mixes usually does not change the bloom color to blue, because these soils have no aluminum ions. The ability to blue or pink a hydrangea is also inspired by the cultivar. Some plants are selected for his or her ability to be blued, while some are bred and selected to be red, white or pink. The flower color of all other Hydrangea species is not afflicted by aluminum and can't be changed or shifted. Hydrangeas likewise have a nickname called 'Change Rose'.
