Late
Panicle
:
The
Hydrangea
'Late
Panicle',
Hydrangea
paniculata
'Tardiva',
This
shrub
has
white
airy
flowers
that
can
reach
10-12"
in
length
in
late
August.
The
flowers
are
a
mixture
of
sterile
and
fertile
flowers
which
gives
the
flowers
less
density
and
less
likelihood
to
tip
or
droop.
Flowers
will
turn
bronze
in
fall.
These
shrubs
are
fast
growing
and
are
great
for
informal
screens,
specimen
plants,
or
for
cut
arrangements.
Prune
every
year
in
the
fall
after
blooming,
no
more
than
1/3
of
the
plant.
These
plants
look
best
when
they
are
kept
pruned
to
keep
them
thick
at
the
base.
They
are
hardy
and
will
not
need
to
be
covered
to
flower.
