Hydrangea paniculata 'Early Harry'

  • White flower cones that turn pink with age, lush green foliage and vivid red stems... Sounds like a pretty good combination, no?
  • 'Early Harry' is a fabulous hydrangea, sporting (as its name might suggest) its flowers from early on in the season - sometimes even as early as the end of May!
  • A vigorous shrub with a broadly upright habit, this variety will grow to a height and spread of roughly two metres or so, making it the perfect pick for a spectacular feature plant.
  • The contrast between the deep red stems and the creamy-white flower panicles makes for fabulous cut flowers in bouquets and arrangements.
  • Easy to grow and hardy to the cold, this low-maintenance shrub will reward you with years of service and wants for very little in return.
