The earliest blooming panicle hydrangea, with flowers that start crisp white and finish the season in deep rosy pink
FEATURES:
- Upright, vigorous grower with a full, rounded habit that looks lush and substantial in the landscape
- Airy, cone-shaped flower panicles open white, then quickly begin blushing pink for a long, evolving color show
- Blooms about a month earlier than many other panicle hydrangeas, stretching the hydrangea season in a big way
- Flowers deepen to a dark rosy pink by fall, bringing true late-season color when most gardens start to fade
- Sturdy stems hold blooms up well for a tidy look in the garden and easy cutting for fresh or dried arrangements
- Hand Selected; Fresh from the Grower
- Ships on our trucks because of the size of the tree – does not fit in a box
Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip:
Plant it where you can back it with something dark and steady, think boxwood, yew, or inkberry, then let the blooms do their color-shifting magic in front of that contrast; keep a generous mulch ring to hold moisture and keep weeds down, and add a ribbon of ornamental grasses nearby so the sturdy upright panicles look even more dramatic as they float above the softer movement.

Why plant Quick Fire® Hydrangea Tree Form?
Ready...set...BLOOM! The Quick Fire® Hydrangea is one of the first hydrangeas to bloom in early summer, about one month before other varieties! By fall, the panicle flowers - which began as a pure white - begin to turn pink before transitioning to a stunning dark pink. These lace cap looking flowers are a fan favorite for pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and other insects. Not only does this fella bloom first, but it also has the longest blooming season out of any other hydrangeas, giving those beneficial insects time to work their magic! Oh, AND adds more time for you to enjoy the show as well!
How to use Quick Fire® Hydrangea Tree Form in the landscape?

How To Plant Quick Fire® Hydrangea Tree Form
Quick Fire® Hydrangeas prefer to be planted in full sun locations with well-draining soil.
How To Water
The Quick Fire® Hydrangea will require a moderate amount of water on a regular basis, especially during spring growth. Provide ample water during periods of drought to keep them feeling happy and healthy!
How To Prune
As the Quick Fire® blooms on new wood, avoid late spring pruning at all costs. You'll only need a single prune in late winter or early spring for a quick clean up. Cut back to a healthy, thick bud. Thin out any spindly, old, broken or weak branches at the same time.
