Hydrangea paniculata Candlelight
is a striking, broad upright-growing shrub known for its large, showy flowerheads. Starting off with creamy-white blooms in early summer, the flowers gradually change to pink-red as they mature, offering a dynamic colour display throughout the season. Its elegant flowers make it an excellent choice for cut arrangements, adding beauty to both your garden and home.
For best results, prune back to around 30cm in August to encourage strong, healthy growth. The plant benefits from added compost at planting and a layer of mulch in summer to retain moisture and improve soil quality. This hydrangea thrives in both sun and semi-shade, making it versatile for various garden settings. Hardy and deciduous, Candlelight is a must-have for any garden enthusiast seeking long-lasting colour and stunning blooms.
