💚I just love my hydrangea🤍and it loves the shade💚which is awesome.. because finding full sun out here can be tricky under all the tall oak trees🤍

💚 The meaning of hydrangea stems from the Greek words for water (hydros) and jar (angos). Hydrangeas were given this name due to their need for plenty of water and the shape of their seed capsules, which resemble jars or urns.

🤍 Ancient hydrangea fossils dating back to 40-65 million years ago have been discovered in North America.

💚Native Americans used the root as a diuretic and the bark as pain relief for muscle pain and burns.

🤍Hydrangeas are also a polite way of telling a suitor you are uninterested.
