Notes
'Fire Light Tidbit' panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Fire Light Tidbit') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. 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. Its arching stems grow quickly and carry white to pink blooms. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers, and the plant tolerates salt. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Big Daddy hosta, Western sword fern, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
