Plant Spacing

Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:

bush distance

Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

More Information

Description Whether you're an expert gardener or a beginner, Fire Light® will make a stunning addition to your garden. No need to worry about pruning wrong, this type of hardy hydrangea flower is the plant that just keeps giving with its voluminous 10" blooms. This Hydrangea paniculata will bloom no matter what, without concern of whether it's too hot or too cold this season. Its big, cone-shaped flowers start out creamy white and transition to pink and then rich reds as summer progresses, giving you an eye-catching flower display all season long and then some.

Sun exposure: Sun (6+ hours), Part Sun (4-6 hours)
Height x width: 6-8' tall and wide
Flower color: White turning to pink to red
Foliage color: Green
Bloom season: Summer thru fall
Bloom time: Summer, fall
Features: Proven Winners, privacy & screening, heat tolerant, fall color, cold tolerant, best for beginners
Uses: Ornamental, specimen, cut flower
 How To Grow Soil: Average, well-drained soils. A 2-3" layer of shredded bark mulch is highly recommended.
Light: Most varieties tolerate full sun in the North, but benefit from afternoon shade. Tolerates full sun only if grown with consistent moisture. In the South, plants require afternoon shade.
Water: Water to keep soil moist, but not wet. Panicle hydrangeas suffer dramatically in poorly drained or wet areas.
Spacing: 6-8 ft.
Fertilizing: Little required. Apply a granular rose fertilizer in early spring if desired.
Winterizing: Panicle hydrangeas are very cold tolerant and need little more than a 2-3" layer of mulch to conserve moisture and prevent cold damage to the roots.
Maintenance & pruning: Blooms on new wood, which means that the plant creates its flower buds only once it has started leafing out in spring. This means it can be pruned in spring and still flower. We recommend cutting back by one-third its total length in early spring.

Packaging issue: very hard to remove plastic wrap .

You need a strong wire cutter or tool to cut the clip, which I don't have. I used scissors to cut away as much as possible for now. Subsequently, even though I have kept the pots watered but it is root bound and I transplanted to larger pot since I am unable to plant in ground until my yard gets installed. Hope it doesn't die before I can find a good location for them.

Hello! We're sorry you had trouble with our packaging. We appreciate your feedback, and will take it into consideration for the future. As you're wiating to plant your hydrangea in your landscape, maintain well-draining soil, apply a granular rose fertilizer if desired.

Great medium sized plant!

The plant is medium-sized and arrived very fast and healthy. A few days after planting, it started thriving and growing new leaves. I can't wait for it to bloom!

Arrived looking sad but hanging in there

I was not happy about the state of the plants when they arrived, especially one of them that looked on its last legs. But I nurtured them a little and eased them into being planted in the ground, and they seem to be fine now and I am excited to see them grow.
