You must check out Success with Hydrangeas which is a gem! I have had my fill of veggie and herb books. They are good, but us real plant people want books on trees, shrubs, and perennials. This gardener's guide is not just an encyclopedia, but is cram-packed with how to plant and prune, insects and diseases, transplanting, and sources where to buy. In other words, it's written for everyone. Lots of pictures are helpful, including new plants. The author, Lorraine Ballato, a well-known lecturer and author, as well as some great GWA personalities, have put together a great [book].

This book is EXACTLY what gardeners need. Lorraine has organized the very complex world of hydrangeas. Her detailed, well-researched, and easy-to-understand explanation of how the many species of hydrangeas set up buds and flowers taught me SO much. She covers pruning in great detail, a question that, as a garden center owner and educator, I am asked about constantly. Watering, feeding, and so much more is clearly explained, species by species. This is not a coffee table book- this is THE reference book that you will turn to again and again.
