Encyclopedia of my most beautiful hydrangeas
Nursery owner and collector of hydrangeas in Brittany, Ronan Garin has just published an eagerly awaited work that he cared deeply about in order to explain and express in the best way the different practices and techniques related to the cultivation of hydrangeas. Three hundred and forty different varieties are presented and detailed in order to help gardeners and novices to recognize, determine, choose and grow their different collection hydrangeas in their own gardens.
In this work you will appreciate the quality of technical and botanical photos. Relevant photographs of all three hundred and forty varieties will help you choose or determine one variety from another. You will therefore discover in detail the representations of the inflorescences and the form of each different variety of hydrangea described in this book.
In the third section, a presentation of four themes will help you choose hydrangea varieties to create a rockery, or to attract our bee friends to your garden for example. .
