Big blooms, big habit, and very little to worry about. Fire Light® hydrangea has large, showy blooms, held perfectly upon strong stems. In early summer, its flowers emerge creamy white and mature to an extremely rich pomegranate-red color. All the while, its thick green foliage remains healthy and vibrant until fall. For such a large plant you’d think it would need more maintenance, but a simple health trim in spring sets it up nicely for the rest of the season until the following spring. It sets buds on new wood, so there is no worry about removing them accidentally with pruning or seeing them zapped off by a sharp dip in temperatures in the springtime. Its easy-care nature, adaptability to many soil types, and ability to thrive in full to part sun makes it an easy choice as a specimen, hedge, or in foundation plantings.
