One of the tallest and toughest of the Hydrangeas, 'Grandiflora' (also known as PeeGee) grows to 8-15 feet tall and 5-6 feet wide with flowers that emerge lime-green before turning white and then eventually aging to light pink. The flowers are 6-8 inches long but can be enlarged by removing all but four or five of the biggest stems in the winter, forcing the plant to produce fewer but larger flowers.

Unlike other Hydrangea species, the paniculata varieties will grow in full sun and produce thick, woody stems that allow plants to be pruned into an upright tree form rather than their natural shrub form. Plants are also exceptionally cold hardy, tolerating temperatures down to -40 degrees. Flowers are produced on the current summer's growth so heavy pruning should be done in winter to ensure continued flowering that year. You can prune plants down to about six inches tall each winter to keep the plant as small as 2-3 feet tall during the summer.

A popular variety sometimes called "PeeGee". A common American garden plant and highly valued for its vigor and bloom dependability. Grandiflora has sterile flowers that appear in July and remain on the plant until the first hard frost. The large conical shaped white flower heads turn to pink in the fall with gray-green leaves. PeeGee was sent to America from Japan in 1861 and continues to be one of the best loved varieties. The blooms can easily be used for drying.
