Given your location, I suspect you are referring to hydrangea macrophylla varieties. This type flowers on buds set the previous year. Depending on the placement location and weather, most likely the buds die off during some winters.
Hydrangea Paniculata varieties reliably flower on new wood. Limelight, Quick Fire and Pinky Winky are newer spectacular varieties destined to replace Grandflora and PEE-GEE hybrids.
I have 8 pinky winky around my front lawn....they are coming into bloom now and are just beautiful. I love the timing of the hydrangeas....after the riot of spring shrubs....and flowers....they introduce late summer and autumn in my region.
As I know, it recommend to plant hydrangea from cut flower. How about hydrangea seeds? Is it recommend to grow hydrangea from seed. Not much information about growing hydrangea from seed available.
I'd bet it is either Annabelle - hydrangea arborescens, mophead selection of smooth hydrangea native to the east coast. Reportedly gets about 4 feet high, prefers some shade. Flowers go from white to green.
or
Incrediball - hydrangea arborescens, mophead cultivar smooth hydrangea native to the east coast. Reportedly gets about 4 feet high, prefers some shade. Flowers go from white to green. It is supposed to be a better annabelle with stronger stems and BIG inflorescences.
or
Limelight - hydrangea paniculata native to Asia. Gets 6-8 ft high. Blooms go from white to green and it is FAMOUS and northern landscapers apparently love it. But i think that limelight gets pink or red tones in the flowers in fall, so maybe it is not this one... I've been drooling over limelight for years, but still don't have one. (but I DID just get PHANTOM, which has GIANT flowers. Excited to see it bloom!).
