Details:Name: Hydrangea paniculata 'SMNHPSB'Hardiness: USDA zones 3-8Height & width: 1.5-3' tall and 2-3' wideLight: Full to part sunSoil: Panicle hydrangeas require well-drained soil. Though they are the most sun—and drought-tolerant of all hydrangeas, for best performance, don't let them dry out excessively. A good layer of mulch is very helpful for minimizing drought stress and conserving moisture.Pruning: Panicle hydrangeas bloom on new wood; that means they create their flower buds after leafing out in spring, so they can be pruned and will still bloom that season. While pruning is not strictly necessary, it does neaten the plant's appearance and can help develop strongest stems. Simply cut the main stems of the plant back by about one-third its total height in late winter or early spring, removing any thin or spindly or wayward branches as necessary.Water: Average. Panicle hydrangeas do not tolerate overwatering or poor drainage.Fertilizer: If desired, fertilize with a granular rose fertilizer in early spring, once the ground has thawed.Bloom time: SummerBloom color: The color the blooms turn is a genetic trait that develops with the natural aging of the cells in the florets, and is not influenced by any condition in the soil, like pH level. You can’t change panicle hydrangeas’ color by treating with aluminum sulfate or planting in acidic soil – they will always stay in the pink/red range.Uses: Flower gardens, landscaping, specimen, flowering hedge, containers and more.
