Notes
'Smnhprzep' panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Smnhprzep') 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 fast, and the white blooms mature to dark red-pink. Bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with American cranberrybush, Empress Wu hosta, and Western sword fern.
