Hydrangea, Panicle Fire Light

Fire Light's vividly colored flowers absolutely sizzle in the summer garden. This large, hardy Panicle Hydrangea (cone-shaped flowers) has dense flowers that emerge creamy white, gradually changing to pomegranate pink, then finally tan over the winter. Blooming August through September, the multi-hued, long-lasting flowers are great for cutting and drying. Excellent for late season color in foundation plantings and shrub borders, either as an accent or in groups. Panicle Hydrangea don't appreciate shade as much as other Hydrangea, and are best planted in full to partial sun and kept evenly moist. Prune lightly in late fall or early spring, removing no more than 1/3 of the stem length.
