About the Hydrangea (Paniculata)
More sun-tolerant and cold-hardy than mophead hydrangeas. Their cone-shaped flower heads can be 30+ cm long. They bloom on new wood, so they never fail to flower even after hard winters. Limelight is the most popular variety with lime-green flowers that age to pink. They can grow 2-3 meters tall. They are among the easiest hydrangeas to grow. They make excellent dried flowers. They are native to China and Japan. They attract pollinators. They can be trained into small trees. They are very long-lived.
