Hydrangea Paniculata Fire Light®

'Fire Light®' is an exceptionally hardy Hydrangea paniculata that blooms reliably even in cold climates.

The strong stems support these large, 12–16" flower heads without flopping. It's truly beautiful in a border or foundation planting, becoming a well-branched shrub reaching 6-8' tall. Give this easy-care hydrangea full sun to partial shade and average garden soil. A Proven Winners®/Color Choice® variety. 'SMHPFL' PP 25,135

Hydrangeais a valuable genus of some 100 species of shrubs and vines grown for their large and very showy flower heads. Hydrangeas are at their best in summer and fall—quiet time for most woody plants—and are worth having for that reason alone.
