The difference between Verbena and Hydrangea

1. Different plant types

Verbena is a herbaceous plant with a relatively short plant and a relatively thick stem that grows downward. The height of the whole plant is about 30-50 cm, and the whole plant is covered with gray soft hairs.

Hydrangea is a type of shrub belonging to the Saxifragaceae family and the Hydrangea genus. The plant is relatively tall, about 1-4 meters in height, with thicker branches.

2. Leaf Difference

The leaves of the former are oblong or lanceolate-triangular in shape, more slender, darker green in color, and have neat serrations on the edges.

The leaves of the latter are obovate in shape, wider and rounder in shape, and lighter in color than the former.

3. Different flowers

Verbena blooms from May to November. It has a spike inflorescence with many small flowers densely arranged at the top. The corolla is funnel-shaped. The flower colors are relatively rich, including white, red, blue, pink, purple, and complex colors.

Hydrangea blooms from June to August. It has an umbel-shaped cyme and is more spherical in shape, with a diameter of about 8-20 cm. The flower colors are relatively monotonous, including light blue, pink, and white.
