We've got some amazing looking Hydrangea here in our nursery yard. Looking particularly healthy are our 'Big Daddy' Hydrangea, or Hydrangea macrophylla 'Big Daddy'.
'Big Daddy' has most likely gotten its name from the colossal flower heads which are a magnificent clear blue color. Often the size of a human head, 'Big Daddy' is a big leaf, or macrophylla-type hydrangea which blooms on sturdy stems from early summer through Fall. The leaves are thick and glossy and disease-free. The flower heads themselves are great for cutting and using in fresh or dried arrangements.
As is the case with most hydrangea, a part sun exposure is ideal as well as an acidic, well-drained soil. Feed in Spring with an Aluminum Sulfate or similar plant food to encourage blooms.
