Panicle hydrangeas (Hydrangea paniculata) are characterized by a very good frost hardiness and tolerate drought better in summer. There are now numerous panicle hydrangea varieties that are cultivated in the garden as a shrub or even as a standard.

Rice hydrangea
First and foremost, panicle hydrangea varieties differ in their growth height and flower color. They feel most comfortable in a sunny to semi-shady spot in the garden or on the balcony. At best, this should also be sheltered from the wind, as the long flowering shoots can easily break. Ideally , panicle hydrangeas should be planted in spring, even if their winter hardiness means they can be planted all year round.

frequently asked Questions
The flowering period of all varieties begins in summer and lasts until the first frost.
Panicle hydrangeas bloom on one-year-old wood and tolerate heavy pruning. The shoots of the previous year usually remain and are a decorative ornament in the garden over the winter. The pruning only takes place in early spring, since at this time the formation of shoots can be optimally stimulated.
All varieties of panicle hydrangeas prefer normal, well-drained, slightly acidic garden soil. It is sufficient to provide them with compost once a year after pruning in spring. If the soil is heavily compacted, you can work in sand.
