Hydrangea p. First Editions® Spring Sizzle™ #2

Spring Sizzle® is a compact panicle hydrangea bred for early color and strong garden performance. Large, dense flower panicles emerge white in early summer, quickly taking on pink and red tones as the season progresses. The sturdy, upright stems hold flowers well, keeping the plant neat and attractive even after heavy rain.

Its manageable size makes Spring Sizzle® an excellent choice for foundation plantings, mixed borders, hedges, and large containers, delivering classic panicle hydrangea impact without overwhelming the space. Like other paniculatas, it blooms on new wood, making it reliable and easy to maintain with simple spring pruning.

This hydrangea performs best in full sun to part shade and adapts well to a range of soils, provided drainage is good. The abundant blooms are attractive to bees and other pollinators, adding subtle wildlife value to the landscape. Drought and salt tolerant once established.

Why We Love It: Earlier blooms, strong stems, and a more compact habit make this a hardworking hydrangea for modern gardens.
