Hydrangea

Hydrangea paniculata‘SMHPFL’ is sold under the trademark name ‘FIRE LIGHT™’ This is a small shrub typically 4-6 ft. high with a spread of 4-6 ft. The large, conical flowerheads, which measure 12 to 16 inches, include a mixture of showy but sterile florets together with smaller, fertile but non-showy ones. The flowers emerge white and turn light pink, then a deeper pink as they mature. With new flowers continually emerging at the tip of the cone, the flowerheads are a lovely blend of color with creamy white at the tip melting into deepening shades of pink at the base. The blooms emerge in mid summer continue into the fall. The color of the flowers is not affected by the pH of the soil. FIRE LIGHT® Hydrangea does well in full sun to light shade and is moderately drought - tolerant. It blooms on new wood so it is not susceptible to late spring frosts. This is a hybrid of Hydrangea paniculata which is native to Japan, China and Korea where it grows at altitudes up to 4,000 ft.
