Fire Light Tidbit® Hydrangea — Hydrangea paniculata
Fire Light Tidbit® Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'SMNHPK') is a remarkably compact Proven Winners® panicle hydrangea that packs a dramatic, multi-season color show into a petite, tidy package. Its large upright panicles — nearly covering the foliage — open white and progress through vivid pink to rich red tones as summer transitions to fall, creating a dazzling season-long display that attracts butterflies and pollinators. In fall, the foliage itself joins the show with eye-catching purple and orange tones. An excellent choice for smaller gardens, containers, and the front of borders, thriving in full to part sun with rich, moist, well-drained soils.
