    Uses Notes: 

    A very hardy flowering shrub good for full sun locations - the hotter your climate, however, the more shade the plant will require. Quick Fire hydrangea performs beautifully as an early blooming panicle hydrangea in mixed container and landscapes. Good for groupings and in mass plantings, shrub and perennial borders, as a specimen, a screen or a hedge, especially when showcasing this dependable panicle hydrangea with pink flowers.

    Maintenance Notes: 

    Panicle hydrangeas like Quick Fire hydrangea are very easy to care for. Hydrangea paniculata Quick Fire can grow in most soils, provided they are well-drained. 

     

    Panicle hydrangeas bloom on new wood, which means they can be pruned in spring and will still bloom that season, a key feature of any reliable early blooming panicle hydrangea. We recommend cutting them back by about one-third their total height in early spring, just as the new growth is beginning to emerge on the stems. This will serve to remove the spent blooms and ensure that the season's growth comes from the heavier, thicker buds further down the plant, keeping your Hydrangea paniculata Quick Fire full and floriferous as a standout panicle hydrangea with pink flowers. 

     

    If blooms do not age to pink and red, this indicates that the plant is either in too much shade, that it experienced drought stress, or that night time temperatures were unusually high.

Hydrangea paniculata Quick Fire ('Bulk') - This hydrangea blooms one month before other hydrangeas and blooms on new wood. Outstanding patio tree for the garden. Hydrangeas have shallow root systems – this means that their roots do not grow deep, but rather broadly, they remain close to the ground surface. They grow about 2' per year. Prune in spring. Use Bone Meal when you first plant. Do not fertilize the first year. Fertilize once a year with a balanced granular fertilizer. Do not plant any deeper than it is in the pot. Do not add any soil or mulch around the base of the stem. Water deeply once or twice a week for about 20-30 minutes whether it rains or not.

Zone 3. 2m W x 125cm-stem H. Patio tree. No fruit. White to pink to red blooms on dark green foliage turning yellowish or red-purple in the fall. Full sun to part shade. Moist, well drained soil. 125cm #7.

Attracts pollinators. Not deer resistant.
