Panicled hydrangeas form hardy, sun‑tolerant shrubs 2–3 m bearing cone‑shaped flower heads that open lime‑white and age to pink or burgundy. Blooming July‑October on new wood, they can be hard‑pruned in early spring to knee height for bigger panicles. Thrive in full sun to part shade and most soils; drought‑resilient once rooted and hardy to −30 °C.
