What is a paniculata hydrangea? It’s commonly called panicle hydrangea. They are a vigorous fast growing, upright deciduous shrub native to China and Japan. Panicle hydrangeas can be planted in a sunny area and will bloom every year no matter if your husband cuts it back in the spring. These are often grown into a tree form as well.

Silver Dollar is truly a show piece in your garden. The stems are sturdy so that you don’t get those drooping branches. Flowers are a rounded conical shape that start out a green turning white and over their bloom time of June into August begin to acquire a pink tone late in the bloom season. Remember this hydrangea blooms on new growth so you can prune this to a size and shape that fits your area. Left on their own they grow into a 5ft by 5ft mounded form. Soil PH doesn’t affect the bloom color which is one less thing to worry about in your gardens. They grow in full sun to light shade preferably. This means you don’t have to have just the right spot for it to bloom another win.
