Panicle Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata)

Panicle hydrangeas - known botanically as Hydrangea paniculata - go by many common names: peegee hydrangea (or pg hydrangea), limelight hydrangea, cone hydrangea, and hardy hydrangea, just to name a few. Whatever you call them, this is the ideal hydrangea for busy gardeners, first-time planters, or anyone who appreciates a lot of "wow" without a lot of work. All panicle hydrangeas are hardy to USDA zone 3, making excellent fresh and dried cut flowers.
