Hydrangea Genus Details
Hydrangeas are opposite-leaved shrubs and vines native to North America and Asia. The individual flowers are small and arranged in clusters of varying size. In some species, there are both sterile 'ray' flowers and fertile flowers in the same cluster. Hydrangea shrubs reach 3 to 9 feet in height while vines can reach 75 feet long. Herbalists originally used the roots and flowers as a diuretic, cathartic, and a tonic for removing stones in the bladder.
