Hydrangea paniculata 'White Light'
- This floriferous hydrangea is up there with the very best. 'White Light' dazzles with its plentiful flower cones, which start out a lime green colour, before developing creamy hues and taking on pink tinges with age.
- While most hydrangeas prefer a spot in partial shade, this variety is more tolerant of direct sun than most. Paired with its compact stature, this make it an ideal pick for large patio pots.
- Suitable for a range of planting schemes, from cottage garden to contemporary, 'White Light' is an incredibly versatile shrub whose showy conical flowers last well into the autumn months.
- One of the best features of this plant is just how low-maintenance it is; fully hardy and requiring little by way of pruning, caring for it is a doddle!
- The sturdy, upright stems make 'White Light' blooms a great choice for cut flowers, lighting up bouquets and arrangements wherever they're found.
