Notes
'Candle Light' panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Candle Light') is a shrub for borders, hedges, and cut or dried flower arrangements. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun. Large cone-shaped flower heads open creamy white and slowly age to pink on burgundy stems. The fragrant blooms appear on new wood from summer to frost and attract bees. It grows about five feet tall and wide.
Pairs well with Campfire rose, Alexander Fleming peony, and Foxtail barley.
