Do Hydrangeas Reproduce

Hydrangeas reproduce sexually. The pollen is scattered by the wind and starts the reproduction process. Then, the seeds grow inside the flower and eventually the flower clusters die. The hydrangea blooms, which contain the seeds, usually dry up and disperse on the ground or travel attached to animals.

What is a sterile flower?

A flower in which essential whorls are non-functional are called sterile flowers. These flowers have staminodes or pistillodes. These flowers never get fertilized. Sterile flowers are often used for artificial selection and they serve as an additional feature to attract pollinating agents towards the plant.
