Flowering Months

Hydrangea paniculata 'Polar Bear' produces dense, conical flower heads of lime green that turn glistening white in late summer. By autumn the blooms have transformed to a dusky shade of pink. The large flower heads make a magnificent feature and can be cut for dried arrangements. This hardy, deciduous shrub is cloaked in pointed, toothed green leaves. Paniculate hydrangeas are very easy to grow, needing very little aftercare and makinga superb addition to mixed borders and woodland gardens. Height and spread: 2.5m (8').

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

How to Grow

Hydrangea paniculata prefers a sunny or semi-shaded position, with shelter from cold, drying winds. Grow hydrangea plants in any non-alkaline, fertile, moist soil. Improve the soil prior to planting by adding with plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost, ensuring that it is mixed in thoroughly and deeply.

More Info

Water regularly until plants are fully established. Leave the faded hydrangea flower heads in place until the new buds swell in spring to protect the delicate buds from frost damage. Prune after flowering, reducing the stems to restrict their growth to the available space and to improve the shape of the plant. If necessary, Hydrangea paniculata will tolerate hard pruning of the oldest stems to a few buds from ground level. This will also encourage larger flower heads to be produced. After pruning hydrangeas, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or compost around the base of the plant. Caution: All parts of hydrangea will upset the stomach if eaten. The foliage may also aggravate skin allergies.

Caution

Caution: irritant to skin and eyes,harmful if eaten
