MEET THE 2022 HYDRANGEA
OF THE YEAR
LITTLE QUICK FIRE® HYDRANGEA PANICULATA

If you love the reliability of panicle hydrangeas but wished they bloomed earlier, your wish is granted! Aptly named, Little Quick Fire is quick to send out its lacy white blooms in early summer, a month before most of its kind. That means you’ll have more time to enjoy its transition to deep pink before frost, plus its compact size helps it tuck neatly into landscapes.

Learn how to grow and prune this early blooming panicle hydrangea here.
