Common Name: Panicle hydrangea, ‘Fire Light’
Panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata) is a rapid-growing, upright, and somewhat coarsely textured, deciduous shrub. This is one of the most winter hardy of the hydrangeas and thrives in urban conditions. Bloom occurs on current season’s growth from mid summer into fall. In full bloom, the weight of the flower panicles will typically cause the branches to arch downward.
Fire Light® is the standard to measure all panicle hydrangeas! This variety was developed by Proven Winners® to be easy-to-grow and reliable, while being selected for its huge, full flower heads and sturdy, strong stems.
With Fire Light®, expect blooms that emerge creamy-white and age to a vivid red for lots of summer color that lasts through fall. It makes a great cut flower, fresh or dried, and can be used as a hedge, solitary specimen, or incorporated into flower gardens and foundation plantings.
