About the Hydrangea -
Late Panicle :
The Hydrangea 'Late Panicle', Hydrangea
paniculata 'Tardiva', This shrub has white airy
flowers that can reach 10-12" in length in late
August. The flowers are a mixture of sterile and
fertile flowers which gives the flowers less density
and less likelihood to tip or droop. Flowers will
turn bronze in fall.
These shrubs are fast growing and are great for
informal screens, specimen plants, or for cut
arrangements. Prune every year in the fall after
blooming, no more than 1/3 of the plant. These
plants look best when they are kept pruned to keep
them thick at the base. They are hardy and will not
need to be covered to flower.
