Huge creamy white flowers turn pink, then red, and hold their color well while new blooms keep the multi-color show going into fall. Red stems add winter interest. As with most Hydrangeas, morning sun and afternoon shade is best. That being said, if watered well throughout the dry season, grouped plantings of panicle hydrangeas in full sun can be spectacular! This popular variety grows 6-7' tall and 5-6' wide. Prune back by a third in early spring to control size, if desired. Hardy to Zone 3.
