Hydrangea is a genus of 70-75 species of flowering plants native
to southern and eastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, the Himalayas, and Indonesia)
and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia,
notably China, Japan, and Korea. Most are shrubs 1 to 3 meters tall, but some
are small trees, and others lianas reaching up to 30m by climbing up trees.
They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though the widely cultivated
temperate species are all deciduous. Source
