Hydrangea Fire Light® Panicle Hydrangea
Description / Hydrangea Fire Light® Panicle Hydrangea
A Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrub, Fire Light® has incredibly large blooms that will spice up your beds or borders this summer and fall. This new hydrangea paniculata produces creamy white flowers in the midsummer, which will shift to pinks and reds as the weather cools. By fall, the gorgeous blossoms, held aloft by strong woody stems, will have everyone's attention as they persist into the cooler weather.
Fire Light® is a Proven Winner®, which means this shrub is second to none in beauty, health, and vigor, and was tested all around the world to prove that. It can grow to an impressive 6 feet high by 6 feet wide, but can be trained into a smaller area by pruning. The lush, colorful blooms make this Hydrangea an excellent focal point or a dramatic back drop for other flowers. It is especially complementary to roses, which will shine in front of Fire Light®.
This hardy hydrangea needs well-drained soil and a little sun. Pruning should be done in the late fall or early spring. It is very adaptable and will produce color-changing blooms year after year. Fire Light™ will be a summer and fall standout in Zones 3 to 8.
