There’s always that one garden spot we treasure, but nothing seems to do it justice. Until now! Tiny Quick Fire panicle hydrangea is the plant for the job. It’s the smallest, most prolifically blooming hydrangea imaginable. Easily tucked into just about any spot, you’ll find it looks lovely in groups, in pots, and even as a tiny little edging hedge. Like the other members of its family, Quick Fire and Quick Fire Fab, it blooms early. Its foliage is practically obscured by brilliant white blooms in early July and by September they’ve matured to rich dark pink. This tidy hydrangea is so easy to care for that it will soon become your go-to plant. Just plan to water it regularly while it’s getting established its first year, water during droughts after it’s established, and prune its old flowers off in the spring. And voila, you’ll have a trusty flowering plant ready to impress any visitor from summer into fall.
