Hydrangea paniculata Fire Light ('Abetwo') (PBR)
hydrangea ( syn. Hydrangea paniculata 'Smhpfl' PBR )
Boasting a dense canopy of oval-shaped dark green leaves with subtly serrated edges, this deciduous shrub sets the stage for a spectacular floral display. In midsummer, tightly packed cones of pristine white flowers burst forth, later transitioning to a stunning shade of rich reddish-pink, adding a fiery allure to moist but well-drained borders. Standing tall on sturdy stems, the sizable flowerheads, often exceeding 15cm (6in) in length, make a bold statement both in the garden and as captivating additions to fresh or dried flower arrangements. Highly resilient and consistent in performance, ‘Fire Light’ burns bright, promising a dazzling show from midsummer well into autumn.
