Hydrangeas are one of my favourite front and backyard flowers.
Unquestionably they are beautiful, but it’s also a form of the stall shop because my mom had gorgeous hydrangeas in our yard growing up. I suspect they were one of her favourite flowers as well.
As you’ll see in our extensive hydrangea garden ideas gallery below, hydrangeas are frequently used in front and back yards, sometimes along a picket fence or else along the wall of the house. In fact my mom grew several large hydrangea flower bushes along one side of our home growing up.
Since most homes do not have a picket fence, one of the best placements is a long the front, side or back of a home. The reason this is such a great location for hydrangeas is they are dense and so they completely cover the wall of a home, plus they grow to approximately 4 to 5 feet in height and so they don’t obscure or cover windows.
