Panicle Hydrangea Quick Fire Fab® 7 Gallon

Hydrangea paniculata

Earliest blooming panicle hydrangea, starts in June along with mop-head types, and continues late into the summer turning from white to deep rose. Blooms every year without fail. Possesses excellent winter hardiness. Soil pH does not affect bloom color. An outstanding specimen plant, especially in the cutting garden. A Proven Winners® variety offering the same benefits of the original Quick Fire®, only this newer variety is slightly more narrow and upright, plus it presents with blooms that are fuller and more densely packed with sterile florets that also display an unusual cruciform shape to give an overall unique textural effect. Plant in well-drained to moist, amended soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water once a week, for the first year. Prune in late winter to early spring to control size and form, down to a 10-12" ball. Deadhead flowers anytime for repeat blooming. Reduce stems for larger flowers, keep more stems for small flowers. Feed early spring and mid-summer with a slow-release fertilizer per label instructions. Mulch 2" to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
