Notes
'Puffer Fish' panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Puffer Fish') is a shrub for borders, specimen planting, 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. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Its arching form grows at a rapid rate, and bees visit the blooms. It also tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Miss Kim lilac, Cinnamon fern, and Royal Standard hosta.
