Hydrangea paniculata 'Brussel's Lace'

Panicle Hydrangea

Plant Type:

DECIDUOUS SHRUBS

Hydrangea paniculata 'Brussels Lace' - Large cones composed of lacy white flowers billow on a lovely dwarf, domed Panicle Hydrangea. Showy flowers emerge and extend 8 inches long on cone-shaped panicles in July lasting into October. Florets age pink in the late season. Foliage is dark green and as with other Panicle Hydrangea there is no appreiciable autumn color. Though 'Brussels Lace' is a compact and relatively dense cultivar Hydrangea paniculata blooms on new wood and can be pruned in late winter for an even denser shrub. Fertile draining soil in full to half sun; if half sun let it be morning shade. Established potted Panicle Hydrangea from cutting.
