Lake Wilderness Arboretum is home to a beautiful hydrangea garden, located next to the gazebo. It has grown to include representations of all types of hydrangeas.

Find older cultivars like the classic Nikko Blue and Annabelle, with flowers that look like a mop head, to current cultivars like Purple Tiers and the Angel series. In the spring, leaves and buds begin to green, getting ready for long-lasting blooms that remain beautiful until late fall.

Find a hydrangea to fit into any landscape design. The climbing hydrangea can be 80’ tall. Insects or diseases won’t affect their large scented cream flowers. Fall leaves turn yellow and the bark in winter is peeling and cinnamon colored, making this hydrangea beautiful for all four seasons.

The panicle hydrangea have round or cone shape white blooms that may color as they age. Paniculata hydrangeas are often referred to as “PG” or “PeeGee” hydrangeas. The arboretum has Limelight located on the gazebo trail and Pink Diamond. You can find Purple Tiers on the meadow side of the collection.
