Hydrangea paniculata 'Sweet Summer' - Tree Form
SWEET SUMMER, is a compact cultivar that typically grows to 4-5' tall and is noted for producing dense, broad-conical panicles (to 5" long) that emerge white in summer but change to light pink. Flowers at the base of the panicles change from white to pink while new white flowers are still emerging at the indeterminate panicle tips. Strong stiff stems hold the flower panicles upright with no drooping. Flower panicles may be cut for fresh arrangements or for drying, or may be left on the plant where they will persist well into winter.
