How To Plant Little Hottie® Panicle Hydrangea
Simple to grow, just give it a fair amount of sun, some average well drained soil and let it flower abundantly!
How To Water
Water your Panicle deeply and regularly until the plant has established. Once the plant has matured it will need average water, but will be able to withstand more sun exposure than others.
How To Fertilize
It is not necessary to fertilize panicle hydrangeas regularly. Our Elements Starter Plant Food is actually perfect for this plant because they prefer a granular form fertilizer in early spring!
How To Prune
Prune in early spring when needed. It is well behaved so don't expect much pruning work. Some people give it a 1/3 haircut early each spring to keep it on the lower end of the 3-5 ft. range.
How Does Shipping Work?
Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box!

Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
