The 'Little Lamb' Hydrangea by Proven Winners ColorChoice® has pink and white panicle shaped flowers. The flowers start white, and turn pink in the fall. These flowers are unique compared to other panicle hydrangeas, because the blooms are much more delicate and compact than usual.
The shrub is from Belgium, and truly unique. This is a compact shrub, that produces very pretty flowers that are great for cut flower arrangements, either fresh or dried out. The shrubs are very reliable to bloom every year, and are even drought tolerant, which is rare for a hydrangea.
Little Lamb Hydrangea Care
These hydrangeas can adapt to a wide range of soils. These prefer well drained soil, but can handle most any conditions. These hydrangeas require much less moisture than a typical hydrangea.
Pruning Little Lamb Hydrangeas should be done in late winter or early spring. Fertilize these in early spring with a slow release fertilizer designed for woody plants, like trees or roses.
Little Lamb Hydrangea Spacing
These shrubs should be planted 6 to 8 feet apart, center on center. If you choose to grow these as a hydrangea privacy hedge, plant these 5 to 6 feet apart, center on center. These also do well in garden planters, due to their drought tolerant attributes.

?
"Blooms on" tells you which stems produce flowers, which decides when it's safe to prune.
- New Wood: Flowers form on stems that grow this season. Prune in late winter or early spring without losing blooms.
- Old Wood: Flower buds form on last year's stems. Prune right after flowering. Pruning in fall or early spring removes next year's blooms.
- Both New and Old Wood: Blooms on last year's stems and again on new growth, so it flowers even after a hard winter or a mistimed pruning. Prune lightly after the first flush of blooms.
- When to Prune
- Late winter to early spring, before new growth starts
