panicle hydrangea
Hydrangea paniculata 'Grandiflora'
Also Known As - P.G. HydrangeaPanicle Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Grandiflora') is an upright, rounded shrub with large clusters of white flowers. The flower heads of the hydrangea start off lime green, then gradually blushes to a sterile white. Growing up to five to eight feet tall and wide, it's ideal for borders or containers as it can easily be pruned back. It thrives best in consistently moist soils that don't dry out. Its large flower heads can remain on the shrub for several months, producing a gorgeous arching display visible from both sides. This deciduous shrub is great for providing shade and color to any landscape.

watering
Panicle hydrangea should be watered regularly but not too much. Water the soil until it is moist, but not soggy. Once or twice a week should be sufficient to keep the soil consistently moist. Be sure to water during dry periods as the plants need additional water during these times. Avoid getting the foliage wet as this can encourage fungal diseases to occur. Do not let the soil dry out completely for extended periods or the plant may become stressed and susceptible to insect or disease damage.
sunlight
Panicle hydrangeas (Hydrangea paniculata 'Grandiflora') should receive around 5-6 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal growth. If they are planted in an area that receives full sun for most of the day, it is recommended to provide them with a few hours of midday shade to limit the risk of sunburn. While these plants will tolerate part shade and can even benefit from the extra shade during periods of extreme heat, they require direct sun for much of the day in order to flower properly.
pruning
Panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Grandiflora') requires pruning every year after flowering. Generally, it is best to prune the panicle hydrangea in late winter or early spring. This type of hydrangea blooms on new wood, meaning the flowers will appear on the new growth that is produced during the current season. To ensure the shrubs stay healthy and produce healthy blooms, it is necessary to prune away dead, weak, or damaged stems. To encourage a fuller look, prune away old flowers as well as about 1-third of the stems. This will help the shrub develop multiple stems and flower buds, giving the panicle hydrangea a full and lush look.
