panicle hydrangea

Panicle Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Renba' BERRY WHITE) requires consistent watering, as too much or too little water can affect the health of the plant. During the growing season (late spring into autumn), water the hydrangea every week or 2. During periods of extreme heat, you may need to water more often. Soak the ground deeply so that the soil is moist at least 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm) deep. In winter, watering may not be necessary, unless the soil is very dry or temperatures are consistently above 70°F (21°C).

Panicle hydrangea is a fast-growing deciduous shrub and can grow in full sun or partial shade; however, best flowering results will occur when it receives some afternoon shade. Because of this, it’s best to receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. When planted in full sun, it’s important to ensure adequate water is available during hot summer days to prevent dehydration.

Panicle Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Renba' BERRY WHITE) is a deciduous flowering shrub that adds a beautiful burst of white blooms to the garden. Pruning should be done in late winter to early spring to ensure a strong, blooming season. Start by cutting back any dead or broken stems, and then reduce the overall shrub size by trimming away 1-third of the oldest stems. This will encourage the hydrangea to grow bushier and more compact, resulting in longer blooms. It is important to remove any old flowers that remain on the plant, as they can encourage fungal growth and damage the health of the plant. After pruning, the bush's shape can be further refined if desired.
