Spring Sizzle® Hydrangea — Hydrangea paniculata

Spring Sizzle® Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Spring Sizzle') is a remarkable compact panicle hydrangea from First Editions® that delivers one of the most dramatic color transitions in the hydrangea world — and does it reliably even in warm Southern climates. The full-sized, tightly packed conical panicles open a clean white and quickly deepen to a striking deep red, providing brilliant two-tone contrast as blooms at different stages coexist on the plant through summer and fall. Strong, non-flopping stems hold the blooms upright even in summer rain, and butterflies are drawn to the abundant flowers throughout the season. A dense, mounding habit makes it ideal for borders, hedges, and specimen use. Thrives in full to part sun with rich, moist, well-drained soils.
