Notes
'Bulk' panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Bulk') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, hedges, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows at a rapid rate into an arching shrub that reaches 6 to 8 feet tall, and bees visit the blooms. Deer tend to pass it by. You can plant it in a row for a living screen.
Pairs well with American cranberrybush, Western sword fern, and Solomon's seal.
