Hydrangea paniculata White Diamond

Designed for small gardens, Hydrangea paniculata 'White Diamond' has a compact size and giant flowers, rarely seen in this type of hydrangea.

This delightful shrubby hydrangea barely exceeds 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in) in both height and width. From August to October, it is covered with panicles of flowers 25 cm (9.8 in) long, which attract butterflies. Of medium size, these panicles are composed of very wide sterile petals, initially a very pure white, before tinting pink and then becoming almost red as they fade.

The panicles are carried by short, thick and very rigid branches. Paniculate Hydrangea has deciduous dark green foliage which tints red in the autumn.

Hydrangea paniculata 'White Diamond' forms a compact bush as wide as it is high at 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in) in height by 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in) in width. Consequently, it fits wonderfully on terraces and balconies but can also be planted along the edge of a bed. Vigorous and robust, it has good hardiness and requires sun and humidity to flower properly.
