DECIDUOUS SHRUBS

Hydrangea paniculata 'Pee Wee' - A dwarf Panicle Hydrangea. White midsummer rounded cones resemble large gumdrops. Panicles expand with a flush of green, mature white and pick up pink tints as the season grows late finally turning warm brown in autumn. This multi-stemmed shrub to 5 feet with an outline of an upright rounded mound is cloaked in typical though smaller foliage than its larger brethren. 'Pee Wee' has so many applications - front of the larger shrub border, as a hedge or a component of a hedgerow, an element in a mixed herbaceous and woody garden, a possible foundation plant in a spot where it would not impact windows... given enough light for flowering I have this vision of it being dotted between an alee of trees or even a backdrop to a herbaceous border filled with shorter perennials. Full to mostly sunny exposure in fertile draining soil. Hydrangea paniculata can be pruned low as it will flower on new wood. Established potted Panicle Hydrangea from cutting.

Site in full to half sun planted in any good garden soil that drains. All we sell are established shrubs from cuttings. All are a manageable size to easily get them settled into your landscape.
