Bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla)

Hydrangea macrophylla, commonly known as bigleaf hydrangea, is a deciduous shrub originating from Japan, recognized for its vibrant and lush flower clusters. It comes in two varieties: mopheads and lacecaps. Mopheads boast large, spherical flower clusters that are predominantly sterile. Lacecaps, on the other hand, have a central cluster of tiny, fertile flowers surrounded by a ring of larger, sterile blooms. The flower color can shift from pink to blue based on the soil's pH level.
