Thriving in rich, slightly acidic soils, hydrangeas flourish in locations that provide morning sun and afternoon shade.

These gorgeous evergreen trees often grow from a single trunk, with large waxy leaves and branches that grow all the way to the ground. These trees are well adapted to a variety of climate conditions. Their large, creamy white, fragrant flowers bloom throughout the summer months. The largest Southern Magnolia on campus can be found between the Singleton Building and the Lib Jackson Student Union.
