Add some showy flair to your outdoor space with the Flare™ Hydrangea. White flowers bloom in cone-shaped clusters that are wide at the bottom and narrow near the top. The white flowers of the Hydrangea paniculata gradually fade into a vibrant shade of reddish-pink starting at the bottom of the cluster and working up to the tip. Woody stems support the flowers and broad green foliage that comes to a point.
Plant this mounded upright beauty in a bed, use it in a decorative border, or line a walkway. Feature this shrub near the front of a bed due to the compact size, or plant this Hydrangea in a container for placement in various locations. The show-stopping blooms also make excellent cut flowers. This low-maintenance Hydrangea is also very hardy and grows as a perennial in USDA zones 3 through 8.
Flare™ Hydrangea Care
Plant this shrub in full to partial sun and water weekly or when the soil dries out. New plants and container-grown plants need regular water, but established plants in the ground can dry out somewhat. Soil should be rich and moist but allow for good drainage.
Flare Hydrangea bloom on new wood, so trim as needed in the fall after the flowers fade. Avoid cutting the plant in the spring because this may reduce the number of flowers. Fertilize using a plant food with a ratio like 15-30-15 to encourage more blooms.
Flare™ Hydrangea Spacing
Flare™ Hydrangea will grow 2 to 3 feet tall and wide. Space plants 2.5 to 3 feet apart to create a dense planting. Use a 14- to 16-inch container when grown in a pot.
