Hydrangeas at Esposito Garden Center

We have the best selection of Hydrangeas in our region-and now is a good time to add some to your garden. They do best in a partially shaded site-or one where they can be shielded from hot mid-day sun. Many varieties will change color with the soil pH -they are pink in a sweet soil and are blue in an acid soil.SALE-Nikko Blue 1gallon reg.$6.99-Now Buy Three for $14.99!
