Puffer Fish® Panicle Hydrangea

Get ready for a fluffy garden showstopper with Proven Winners® Puffer Fish® Panicle Hydrangea USPP#35316 (Hydrangea paniculata 'NCHP1'). This compact yet powerful shrub is known for its massive, fluffy white flower heads that practically cover the plant, creating a striking cloud-like effect in the landscape! As summer fades, the flowers take on soft green tones, extending their beauty well into fall.

Unlike traditional Panicle Hydrangeas, Puffer Fish® doesn't just stop with one bloom cycle—it produces a final burst of flowers late in the season, giving it an extra 'puff' of blooms just when you thought the show was over!

With strong, upright stems, incredible cold hardiness, and low-maintenance care, this Hydrangea is perfect for borders, foundation plantings, and container gardens.
