Product Description
Hydrangea Paniculata Fire Light,
in 3L Pot
Hydrangea paniculata ‘Fire Light’ is a hardy panicle hydrangea known for large cone-shaped blooms that open creamy white in summer and gradually turn deep pink to red as the season cools. It’s popular because the stems stay upright instead of flopping over.
Key details:
- Height/spread: typically 5–8 ft (1.5–2.5 m)
- Sun: full sun to partial shade
- Soil: moist but well-drained
- Hardiness: H6
- Blooms on new wood, so prune in late winter or early spring
- Good for hedges, borders, specimen planting, and cut flowers
Colours & Soil Acidity
In most species the flowers are white, but in some species (notably H. macrophylla), can be blue, red, pink, light purple, or dark purple. In these species the colour is affected by soil pH. For H. macrophylla and H. serrata cultivars, the flower colour can be determined by the relative acidity of the soil. Hydrangea flowers are blue in acidic soil with a pH of 5.5 or lower. The more alkaline the soil, the pinker the flowers will be.
Weather can influence the color of hydrangea leaves, causing large areas of purple discoloration. Cool weather near the end of the growing season may trigger the plant’s dormancy early, allowing the purple leaf color to show through as the green chlorophyll factories shut down for the season.
