Hydrangea macrophylla, also commonly known as big-leaf hydrangea, is said to be the most widely grown Hydrangea species worldwide. Apparently there are over 600 named cultivars.

They are one of the most popular ornamental plants because of their large, colourful flower-heads. The flowers are its most striking feature, appearing in large rounded or flattened clusters.

Hydrangeas have delicate flower heads with a mix of large, showy and small flowers. The large, showy flower heads come in a variety of colours, including pink, blue, and purple. Intriguingly, some varieties change colour based on soil pH: acidic soils produce blue flowers, while alkaline soils yield pink ones. This unique characteristic adds an element of surprise and interest.

The flowers of Hydrangea are carried in clusters, with each tiny, individual hydrangea flower being enhanced by the display of colour from a ring of modified sepals surrounding it. - Wikipedia
