This 6-8' gem from Netherlands? Mark Bulk extends the Hydrangea season by producing a full month earlier (in late spring!) its large (to 12"), conical flowers of white-turning-deep-pink... gorgeous! PSh/M PPAF CBRAF

Quick Fire® hydrangea blooms about a month before any other panicle hydrangea. Flowers open pure white then turn pink, and will be an extremely dark rosy-pink in the fall. The flower color on Quick Fire® Hydrangea is not affected by soil pH. Blooms on this super-hardy and easy to grow hydrangea are produced on new wood, which means that you will see flowers even after even the harshest winters.

Early blooming, if not the earliest, paniculata with fire-red colors! We have found this full growing hydrangea is a very early blooming paniculata. Like all paniculatas, the blooms begin creamy white but turn pink (and then RED!) as the bloom ages. We usually see the blooms forming when macrophylla just begins to get color in the sepals (by end of June). This is a great addition for all year interest!

A miniature hosta, this one has bright golden yellow leaves in spring that become apple green by midsummer. Shiny, wavy leaves have good substance and form neat mounds topped by pale purple flowers in August.

Earliest bloomer of the hardy hydrangeas, this one will have pink clusters of flowers from mid-summer into the fall. Flowers will be darker rosy-pink in the fall. Green foliage will create a nice backdrop for the extended flower display. Great for sunny locations, borders, groupings, screens or hedges.

This gorgeous new cultivar flowers one month earlier than other paniculatas offering cone shaped panicles covered in large creamy white flowers. The flowers soon develop a pink tinge which will continue to darken until fall when they flower colour will approach a lusty red. Vigorous and easy to grow, blooms are on new wood.

The earliest blooming of the PeeGee Hydrangeas producing it's 6-8" cone shaped white flower clusters long before other PeeGees begin to show buds. Blooms fade to a deep pink pushing the color show well into fall. Very reliable! The propagation of, and/or the sale of plant parts is prohibited without a license. PeeGee or Panicle Hydrangeas will do well in almost any well-drained garden soil but will beneft from a good quality mulch and from the addition of humus in poor soils. They seem to be adaptable as far as pH is concerned and are considered by many to be salt tolerant. The PeeGee Hydrangea flowers on new growth and so can be pruned in winter or early spring and can even be cut back to within 6" of the ground annually. Average moisture is best.

A breakthrough selection from the Netherlands with panicles that appear more than a month earlier than other varieties. Beginning in late May - early June, the trusses emerge, turning shades of rich deep pink as the summer continues. Fall color is a stunning warm amber rose. 1 gallon plants.

Earlier blooming than other paniculata types with flowers turning pink before other varieties begin to bloom. 6' x 6' shrub. PP162812

Quick is right! This cultivar blooms nearly a month before others of it species! Creamy flowers quickly turn pink and deeper pink as the flowers dry. Terrific for cut flowers, fresh or dried. A vigorous grower, with pruning will make a terrific dense hedge 6-8'

(H. Bulk ppaf). This selection from plantsman Mark Bulk, Holland, has pink flowers a month before H. p. 'Pink Diamond'. We haven't had the plant bloom yet, but plants from Mark Bulk have been excellent.
