PANICLE HYDRANGEA
Panicle Hydrangea is the variety with heads of flowers that are cone shaped. (Panicles are loose clusters of flowers). They have large blooms that typically. Start white with some turning pink as they mature, some will turn different shades of pink and others will exhibit blooms that are both white and shades of pink to dark red on the same plant. Aborescens (or “smooth” hydrangea types start out lime green, turn white as the bloom maturity. The original panicle type was called Pee Gee hydrangea, then later developed a variety called Limelight. They are very similar, but the panicles of the Pee Gee hydrangeas are larger. They can typically grow 10-15’ tall and some have developed into small trees. It is best to keep them pruned and de-headed which helps maintain the density of the shrub and the production of large panicles.
Panicle hydrangeas do well in partial shade or full sun and are the hardiest of the hydrangeas. I have planted both Pee Gee and Limelight on the north side of buildings and they do very well.
In recent years, several other varieties have been developed. We carry the following varieties:
Bobo a dwarf variety that grows 2 ½-3’ tall
Little Lime grows 3-5’ tall.
Pinky Winky grows 6-8’ tall.
Little Quick Fire grows 3-5’tall.
Vanilla Strawberry grows 6-7’tall.
Sweet Summer & Oak Leaf
MOP HEAD HYDRANGEA
Our Mop Head hydrangea range in growth from 3’ to 5’ wide and 4’ to 6’ tall. Their average bloom is earlier than the panicle hydrangea generally two to four weeks. They mostly spread wider that tall, the Endless Summer and some of the newer hydrangeas flower for extender periods of time and the colored flower persist will into the fall. They bloom in the full sun with plenty of watering, but do better with some shade, We carry the Flowing variety:
