All the hydrangeas are beautiful, but framing them against the variety of stone walls…. Delightful at nature’s best!

How much sun do the hydrangeas need or tolerate when planted above a wall?

Half shade is best except now there are new cultivars like Summer Crush that can tolerate sun. Panicle hydrangeas also tolerate sun.
