i was wondering if anyone is familiar with a hydrangea that might lean towards orange coloring, coral, peach . . . anything in that range. i appreciate any information you might have to share. thanks!

Hmmm, someone else might know better than me but I have 6-7 white hydrangeas and I've only ever read about white, pink, and blue ones but I could be wrong.....

BTW, I'm going to move this to the Trees and Shrubs forum! Glad to have you here!

the only orangish ones i've seen are the pink blooms at the end of the summer. they get an orangis hue to them, but aren't orange.

There is once hydrangea that has sort of coral pink blooms. It is a Pee Gee hydrangea. It has really cool cone shaped blooms-like on a lilac but thicker. It does grow smaller than others, but if you have a lot of space then you could just get several of them. A bunch of hydrangeas blooming all at once is really pretty Also, this one needs to be pruned in late winter, since it blooms on old wood. But you don't have to prune it if you don't want to.
