10 BEST COMPANIONS

Hydrangeas attract pollinators & add beauty & have flowers that bloom early to mid-summer & remain through fall. Here are the 10 best companion plants to plant with them.

1

dogwood

Dogwoods are medium-sized trees with pretty spring flowers and they're perfect for providing the shade hydrangeas need from the afternoon sun.

2

CREPE MYRTLE

The lovely flowers in various shades of pink or purple coordinate well with most hydrangeas. Plus when they grow large enough they can also shade hydrangeas from hot sun.

3

DWARF evergreen

Ball-shaped evergreens offer interest & year-round color, while providing a pretty contrast to the more freeform feel of hydrangea shrubs.

4

cranesbill

Blooming from spring to fall, this perennial tolerates sun or shade, so it's a great option for planting in front of or beneath larger hydrangea specimens.

DOUGLAS SACHA

5

HOSTA

Hostas need mostly shade but perform best with some morning sun, so they're an ideal companion plant for hydrangeas, which like the same conditions.

6

AZALEA

These pink, purple, or white flowering shrubs offer pretty blooms in spring, and like hydrangeas, prefer part-sun conditions, making them a great companion planting.

ORNAMENTAL GRASS

Ornamental grasses offer a contrast of texture and color for hydrangeas. Some types like part sun, just like hydrangeas.

SPRING-FLOWERING BULBS

Plant spring-flowering bulbs under hydrangeas; they'll bloom before the shrubs leaf out, while the hydrangeas will camouflage the fading bulb foliage.

SPEEDWELL

These hardy perennials have pretty, colorful flowers that need about 4-6 hours of sun a day, & pollinators love them. They're ideal massed in front of dwarf-sized hydrangeas.
