Experience Fire Light Hardy Hydrangea, featuring upright panicles packed with florets that turn from white to pomegranate pink. This stunning plant adds vibrant color to your garden from summer to fall! |
Fire Light® is the standard to measure all panicle hydrangeas! We developed this easy-to-grow, reliable panicle hydrangea in Michigan, selecting it for its huge, full flower heads and sturdy, strong stems. Blooms emerge creamy-white and age to a vivid red for lots of summer color. It makes a great cut flower, fresh or dried, and can be used as a hedge, specimen, or incorporated into flower gardens and foundation plantings. Top three reasons to grow Fire Light® hydrangea: - Exceptionally hardy, growing and flowering well even in chilly zone 3 - large flowers age to red early in the summer for a colorful display - low maintenance and easy to grow - the perfect plant for "black thumbs."
