Hydrangeas are one of my all-time favorite flowers and these days there is so much diversity in the bloom types and colors. You can choose from a lace-cap, mop-head, or cone-shaped flower cluster. Although they are gorgeous when they bloom, there are some diseases that can be potential problems in the garden.
