Description
Quick Fire Hydrangea, artfully trained to a tree form, injects your landscape with an ever-evolving burst of color. Its elegant single-trunk structure supports a rounded, mounded canopy bursting with large, showy clusters that ignite in a vibrant lime-green and gradually transition to soft pink as the season unfolds. Grown in rich, moist, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH (around 5.5–6.5), its bloom intensity is beautifully enhanced, offering a refined, textural focal point perfect for mixed shrub borders or container settings. With low-maintenance care and notable deer and rabbit resistance, Quick Fire Hydrangea stands as a true statement piece that delights from midsummer into early fall.
General Care
- Sunlight: Performs best in full sun to part sun (ideally 5–6 hours of direct light daily)
- Soil: Prefers rich, moist, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH (around 5.5–6.5) to optimize bloom color
- Watering: Provide deep, consistent watering throughout the growing season to maintain even moisture
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to conserve moisture and stabilize soil temperature
- Pruning: Lightly prune after flowering in early fall to maintain its natural, tree-form shape without sacrificing future blooms
Invigorate your landscape with Quick Fire Hydrangea—a deciduous, tree-form hydrangea that delivers an inspiring, continuously shifting display of vibrant blooms and refined textural elegance all season long.
