Notes
'Powerball' panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Powerball') is a shrub for borders, hedges, cut flowers, 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. It has an arching habit and grows at a rapid rate. Bees visit the summer blooms, and the shrub tolerates salt. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with American cranberrybush, Earth Angel hosta, and Western sword fern.
