Firelight Tidbit® Hydrangea

The Fire Light Titbit® Hydrangea is a big break-through, but a small plant, perhaps the smallest of all the new panicle hydrangeas that gardeners have been presented with in recent years. Growing between just 2 and 3 feet tall and round, it brings these lovely to see and easy to grow plants to all gardeners, no matter how minute your garden, and even if it is just a few pots on a balcony. With small, light green leaves and 6-inch flower heads, this plant is a true beauty. Flower heads are white during summer, gradually turning pink and then dark red as fall advances. A great garden addition with a million and one uses, from planters and pots to edging and mass-planting.

• Rounded 6-inch blooms of pure white last week after week
• Cooler weather of late summer turns the blooms light pink at first, becoming red purple during the coldest periods
• Small, rounded shrub never exceeds 3 feet tall and wide
• The best species of hydrangea for cooler areas – hardy in zone 3
• Flower color is not affected by soil pH

The Fire Light Titbit® Hydrangea loves the sun, especially in cold zones, but will take a little afternoon shade as well. It grows in any soil that isn’t always wet, and benefits from richer soils with plenty of organic matter added to it. Growth and flower color are not affected by the pH (acid/alkaline balance) of your soil. Although deer can be an issue, other pests or diseases are barely known for this plant, which is very easy to grow. Prune in spring and never trim new growth during summer.
