Be sure to cut a long length of the strong stems to help support the panicle Hydrangeas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreate a low, solid hedge by planting 2 to 3 feet apart on center. You’ll measure from the center of one plant to the center of the next. Remember to always trim a hedge so it is wider at the base of the plant, and a bit narrower at the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e#ProPlantTips for Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFire Light® Panicle Hydrangea is a Hydrangea paniculata. This group of Hydrangeas cannot have their flower color altered by lower or higher soil pH. It’s an easy-to-grow deciduous shrub that loves the sun and is hardy over a wide area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFire Light® Hydrangea will thrive in most soils, as long as it drains well after a rain. If you need to improve the drainage, add additional soil 18 - 24\" above your native soil. Plant in that mound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile your plant is still young, give it moderate regular water. This will help it get established in your soil. Give it supplemental water during hot spells so it can develop those nice big full flower panicles you love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFire Light® Hydrangea is easy to maintain\u003c\/strong\u003e with one simple prune in late winter or early spring before it starts to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant blooms on new wood. Prune it in late winter or very early spring, just before it starts to leaf out. Always keep in mind that you should prune back about 1\/3 of the size from last year. Cut it down to 2-3 feet and then just leave the plants alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the plants begin to grow, don’t prune any of the new shoots or you will lose this year’s blooms. They will put on all new growth adding 2-3 feet of growth and of course those amazing creamy-white into rich, pomegranate-pink flowers that again remain showy until you cut them off in early spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHydrangea paniculata types will live in partial shade, but they need lots of sun to make lots of flowers. Careful planning when siting your plants will encourage the plants to begin to get shaded; you will notice that the flowers will become smaller or fewer flowers may be produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis plant is a Proven Winners® selection\u003c\/strong\u003e.

It asks for almost nothing in exchange for countless blooms throughout the seasons! Simply plant it in full sun so it can sunbathe all day long and it'll be happy as a clam!

No need to pick the spent flowers each day, it'll take care of that for you! But once those first round of flowering stems finish blooming, cut the flower stems down into the base of the leaves and your plants will send up new flower stalks sooner.
