Hydrangea – Puffer Fish Panicle Hydrangea
SKU: n/a.Enjoy huge over-the-top flowers on Puffer Fish Panicle Hydrangea. In summer the buxom blooms appear on squat stems completely covering the shrub. Almost all the greenery is hidden by the ginormous blooms. As the main flowers dry to a lime green, a small tuft of new white flowers appears, adding a fun little show. Growing 3-5′ tall and wide, Puffer Fish can be used as a showy hedge, accent, or backdrop in a mixed garden. Puffer Fish makes a top choice plant for large containers where a low-maintenance show is needed.
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.
