Hydrangea 'Grandiflora', Panicle Hydrangea 'Grandiflora', Hydrangea 'Pee Gee'
Deservedly popular, Hydrangea paniculata ‘Grandiflora’ or ‘PeeGee’ is a large, upright, deciduous shrub or small tree with conical flower panicles, up to 18 in. long (45 cm), packed almost entirely with sterile florets. Showy, the creamy-white florets become pink-tinged as fall approaches. Blooming profusely from midsummer to fall, the charming blossoms are so heavy that the branches bend over with their weight. The foliage of ovate, serrated, dark green leaves shows hints of yellow to reddish-purple in the fall. Introduced from Japan in the 1860s, ‘Grandiflora’ is an excellent subject for the mixed border.
