Hydrangea paniculata 'Phantom'
- It might have a spooky-sounding name, but with its incredible white flower cones and lush foliage, 'Phantom' is every bit the superstar!
- A vigorous performer, this hydrangea works brilliantly both as part of a broader flowering hedge and as a standalone feature shrub.
- While primarily white, you may notice the odd lime green and pink flush appearing on your hydrangea flowers, adding even more interest to an already-impressive plant.
- Borne on stiff, sturdy stems, these blooms make for excellent cut flowers to be used in a vase arrangement or bouquet.
- 'Phantom' has been recognised by the RHS with its Award of Garden Merit, which is conferred upon those plants proven to perform especially well in British gardens.
