These vibrant Hydrangea macrophylla, commonly known as bigleaf hydrangea, are showstoppers on campus this time of year. 🌿☀️

Bigleaf hydrangeas are woody, deciduous shrubs with iconic large clusters of long-blooming summer flowers. They bloom in a stunning variety of colors, including blue, pink, purple, and white. Thriving in rich, slightly acidic soils, hydrangeas flourish in locations that provide morning sun and afternoon shade.

See if you can spot them on campus!

🌱You can find Magnolia grandiflora, commonly known as the Southern Magnolia, scattered across campus! 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.
