A stunning and reliable hydrangea with large, pink flowerheads that age to a deep red.

Caring for Panicle Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata) involves providing it with the right growing conditions and regular maintenance. These hardy shrubs prefer full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Plant them in a location with good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases. Water the plants deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulching around the base of the plants helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune Panicle Hydrangea in late winter or early spring to remove dead or weak branches and shape the plant. These hydrangeas bloom on new wood, so pruning will not affect flowering. Fertilize the plants in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms. Panicle Hydrangeas are generally resistant to pests and diseases, but monitor for any signs of trouble. With proper care, your Panicle Hydrangea will reward you with its beautiful cone-shaped blooms, which can change color from white to pink as they mature, adding elegance and charm to your garden or landscape.
