Quick Fire Fab® Hydrangea — Hydrangea paniculata
Quick Fire Fab® Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'SMNHPM') is one of the earliest-blooming panicle hydrangeas available, delivering a remarkably long season of color that few other shrubs can match. Starting in midsummer — weeks ahead of most hydrangeas — the full-sized conical panicles open white and gradually deepen through soft pink to a dramatic dark rose-pink by mid-fall. The leaves add to the spectacle, turning gold and burgundy in autumn for a stunning end-of-season display. An upright, mounding habit with dense, long-lasting blooms makes this an exceptional choice for borders, hedges, and specimen plantings. Thrives in full to part sun with rich, moist, well-drained soils.
