HYDRANGEA PANICULATA
Wonderful sun loving hydrangeas that are perfect for the mixed borders. They bloom on new wood and can be cut back hard in late winter. Paniculata stay more compact and produce large white cone-shaped blooms from mid to late summer and remain for two months and then dry attractively to provide winter interest. Very easy to grow but prefers sun and rich soil.
