The Top Ten Best Green Hydrangeas For A Modern Country Garden

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Welcome to the Modern Country Style list of Top Ten Green Hydrangeas! I've absolutely LOVED putting this post together for you. Green Hydrangeas are a mainstay of Vintage Flower Bouquets, and are <i>so </i>easy to grow in your own Modern Country garden. Pots of smaller plants look gorgeous indoors. There really is no excuse!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Quiet places to read with white Hydrangeas in pots" height="640" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/b6/bb/2d/b6bb2d09133ad07ed242a6c1d1b04d4c.jpg" style="font-size: x-large; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="" width="451" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">White Hydrangeas in pots add to the serenity of this snuggly reading spot</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you're feeling somewhat dithery over which varieties produces the most fabulous of green Hydrangea flowers then read this post and dither no more, my poppets.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Hydrangeas and rose foliage floral arch " height="640" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/3d/10/fe/3d10fec136879e312826f74b4c9f483a.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="" width="480" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Green Hydrangeas and white roses in a stunning arch </td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before I get to my list of Top Ten Green Hydrangeas, let's first clear up a common misunderstanding about green Hydrangeas in general. There is no such thing as a Hydrangea that is green for every stage of its life. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The perfect lime-green Hydrangeas that you see in florists have been poked and prodded and manipulated to give that perfect lime glow but this is not a natural state over the whole season.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Green hydrangeas, berries, roses and carnation Vintage Country arrangment" height="640" src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/3b/b1/65/3bb165ef6ddfc8994ad0f5e3199fac41.jpg" style="font-size: x-large; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="" width="426" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Green hydrangeas and roses in a Vintage Country arrangement</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">And this is the nub of the problem, Hydrangeas are the chameleons of the flower world. Lots of Hydrangeas are green when the flowers are very new (regardless of the age of the plant itself). The main colour then develops over time, be that pink or blue or white or lilac or cream or red.... However, in many Hydrangea plants, the flowers take on a new shade towards the end of their life. This, if you can find the right varieties, is where the vintage Hydrangea look is at its best. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Delicious vintage Hydrangea bouquet " height="640" src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/94/80/e3/9480e3e927fc8d1b8a3f2fc467bc3839.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="" width="520" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Delicious vintage Hydrangea bouquet </td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you buy certain types of pink or blue Hydrangea mopheads, with their full globular heads, they will turn greenish with age. They may go on to develop other tinges but you'll have a decent amount of time with gorgeous vintage flower heads. Perfect for drying!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="White hydrangea, turned green then pink was added" height="402" src="http://www.hydrangeashydrangeas.com/images/greenpink.jpg" style="font-size: x-large; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="" width="640" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This started off as a pure white Hydrangea!</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you're after plain green colouring, then definitely head for white Hydrangeas: the first part if the list is for you.

Designed around the need to produce a new Hydrangea that stays green for as long as possible, its conically shaped flowers open lime green and stay that way for longer than most others. However, don't be fooled by the name. The flowers of Hydrangea Limelight do turn white and, as the flowers age, they take on a definite rosy pink bloom.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><u><span style="font-size: large;">2.
