Description
Hydrangea paniculata 'Prim’Red' produces large panicles that turn red from the heart of summer, much earlier than most paniculate hydrangeas. This intense and long-lasting flowering makes it a highly decorative shrub in the garden, from early summer to autumn. This easy-to-grow, hardy and well-branched, generous shrub finds its place in a flowering hedge or a large shrub border. This hydrangea requires a fairly sunny position to develop its beautiful colour.
The paniculate hydrangea 'Prim’Red' belongs to the Hydrangeaceae family and bears the official code 'Couhaprim' PBR, protected under number EU 58380. It was selected in France, in the Vosges, by Jacques Couturieux, a recognised breeder affiliated with the SAPHO network.
This cultivar stands out for its remarkable presence: the floral panicles appear from late May or early June on the current year's wood, at the tips of short shoots. The shrub generally reaches 1.50m in height and 1.20m in width. Its habit is bushy and well-branched, naturally structured and balanced. Under ideal growing conditions, it can occasionally exceed this size and reach up to 1.80m tall. Mature size is reached in 3-4 years. The inflorescences consist of large conical panicles, about 15cm long. Each is formed of both sterile flowers (evolving from creamy white to pink, then cherry red in July-August) and bright red fertile flowers, attractive to pollinating insects. The deciduous foliage is composed of simple, opposite, ovate leaves with a toothed margin, matt green, turning slightly yellow in autumn before falling. This plant is hardy to –25 °C.
Crowned with cherry red from summer, the paniculate hydrangea 'Prim’Red' enlivens borders and flowering hedges. For refined contrasts, pair it with Hydrangea paniculata ‘Fraise Melba’, with its creamy pink tones and the almost black, finely cut foliage of Sambucus nigra ‘Black Lace’. As a counterpoint, underplant with Veronicastrum virginicum ‘Fascination’ and some grasses such as Deschampsia cespitosa ‘Goldtau’. This dynamic and sophisticated display will highlight the intense red of 'Prim’Red' while varying shapes and textures.

Planting and care
Plant your Hydrangea paniculata Prim'Red in deeply worked soil. A good base fertiliser (horn or dried blood) will help your plant establish and feed it without risk of burning. Hydrangea paniculata prefers humus-bearing soils, but tolerates slightly lime-bearing soils more easily. If your soil tends to be dry, mix plenty of compost with the soil when backfilling the planting hole and create a watering basin on the surface. Mulch in summer. Spring growth is quite late. Water frequently during flowering, while not watering the foliage and flowers directly.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
