Hydrangea, 2 gal, Fire Light Tidbit® Jeffries Nurseries Ltd.

If you thought you didn’t have enough space to grow a beautiful, reliable panicle hydrangea, Fire Light Tidbit® hydrangea is here to help! This innovative new development is the tiniest, tidiest panicle hydrangea yet. Big, lush panicles of white mophead flowers appear in early-mid summer, nearly obscuring the textured green foliage. As the summer progresses, they begin to develop bright pink and red tones, which keep it colorful right on up to the first frost, especially combined with its colorful autumn foliage, an unusual trait in panicle hydrangeas. Thick, sturdy stems help to create a neat, mounded plant that’s fantastic in landscapes, flower gardens, even in containers! A Proven Winners® Color Choice® variety.
