Powerball™ Hydrangea — Hydrangea paniculata
Powerball™ Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'SMNHPLK') is a distinctive Proven Winners® panicle hydrangea that sets itself apart with its unusually rounded, globe-like flower panicles — a refreshing departure from the typical cone shape. The blooms emerge a fresh green, open to white, and age to a soft pink in fall, providing a graceful, long-lasting color progression from summer through the first frost. A compact, tidy mounding habit with dense flowering makes Powerball an excellent choice for smaller borders, foundation plantings, privacy screens, and hedges. Thrives in full to part sun with rich, moist, well-drained soils, and is exceptionally hardy to Zone 3.
