Hydrangea paniculata ‘Greenspire’

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Greenspire’ features long and pointy, conical panicles, up to 12 in. (30 cm), packed with sterile and fertile florets. The fertile florets retain their lime green color, while the sterile white florets become tinged with pink as they age.

Vigorous, ‘Greenspire’ can develop into a big bush and is particularly suitable for large gardens.
