This Midwesterner has four hydrangeas growing along one side of her house: two white and two pink. I'm sure they're not the same hybrid as what grows in the South, but they are very pretty. If we had a different soil pH, the pink could be blue, but I don't really feel like messing with it. As it is, they didn't bloom this year because we didn't cut them back.
The white are growing like gangbusters, though.
