Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Hydrangea paniculata 'Polar Bear' is a medium-sized panicle hydrangea growing up to 4-5 feet tall and wide with strong stems holding aloft large conical flower heads that start in shades of light green, change to creamy white, and then age to light pink. Blooms all summer into fall. Paniculatas are super hardy, bloom on new wood, are fragrant, and make good dried flowers.

New to the US This hydrangea will rival some of the current paniculata cultivars for top spot. Largest blooms we've seen so far for the paniculata family. Full lime green blooms fade to white then pink/red in the fall. Very new to us but looks to be a winner, can't wait to plant it in our display garden. Limited supply.
