In CuSO5.5H2O, 4 H2O molecules are directly attached to the Cu atom while one is present as water of crystallisation. According to me the structure can be considered to be a distorted octahedral. It forms an orthorhombic crystal lattice.
 
ionic,covalent,coordinate and hydrogen bonds are present.ionic in formation of CuSO4 and covalent in SO4 ion...
coordinate in SO4 with CuSO4 and H-bonding due to presence of O.
