Notes
'White Moth' panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'White Moth') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, and specimen plantings. 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 grows fast into an arching mound with white blooms from early to late summer. Bees visit the flowers, and the plant tolerates salt. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Spotted joe-pye weed, Sensitive fern, Miss Kim lilac, and Spanish bluebell.
