Notes
'Renba' panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Renba') 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. It sits low on the menu for deer. White blooms mature to pink and appear from early to late summer. Bees visit the flowers, and the arching shrub grows fast and tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Miss Kim lilac, Fire Island hosta, and Western sword fern.
