'Diamond Rouge' panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Diamond Rouge') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, hedges, and specimen planting. 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. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Its arching stems grow quickly and bring blooms from early summer into autumn. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers.
