Bring flaming color to your landscape with the small but mighty Baby Dragon Panicle Hydrangea, Hydrangea paniculata. Precious and powerful like a baby dragon, this improved Panicle Hydrangea delivers extraordinary flower power in a petite form for modern outdoor spaces. The flowers start cream and lime before igniting to a rich pink. Dried flowers will stay on plants well into winter and early spring. It grows 2 to 3 feet tall and wide.

Baby Dragon Panicle Hydrangea can be used as a showy accent or small hedge in a mixed garden. It makes an incredible display planted in groups,  and in containers where a low-maintenance big show is wanted. Baby Dragon Panicle Hydrangea makes a top choice for cut flowers, both fresh and dried.

Plant in full sun to part shade in soil that has been amended with compost. Apply a starter fertilizer or an all-purpose fertilizer when planting, we use Starter with Bio Tone Organic Fertilizer. Fertilizing consistently will give you the best results. Stop fertilizing in late summer. Although fancy pruning is not needed, Panicle Hydrangeas bloom on the current season’s growth. They can be pruned in late winter to early spring. You can cut them back to the ground, or if you want taller plants cut them back to 1-3′ feet.
