Candelabra® Hydrangea

Candelabra® Hydrangea gives gardeners the kind of hydrangea show they want most: big summer color, strong stems and dependable bloom without complicated care. This hardy panicle hydrangea grows about 4–6' tall and wide, making it a beautiful anchor for borders, informal hedges and specimen plantings. Get Upright Blooms Without Staking Heavy hydrangea flowers can be disappointing when they flop after rain or lean into nearby plants. Candelabra® helps solve that problem with strong, upright stems that hold its tapered flower panicles high above the foliage. You get a cleaner, more polished display with less fuss and no need to stake each bloom. Count on Flowers After Cold Winters Candelabra® blooms on new wood, which is a major benefit for colder-climate gardeners. Instead of depending on flower buds carried through winter, it forms its blooms on the current season’s growth. That means late-winter or early-spring pruning will not remove the coming flower show, and cold weather is less likely to ruin the season’s color. Enjoy Months of White-to-Red Color The flowers open greenish white to creamy white in midsummer, then shift through pink into deep pink and bright red as the season moves toward fall. Because the color changes over time, the shrub keeps giving the garden a fresh look instead of one short bloom moment. Grow Hydrangea Beauty With Simple Care Plant Candelabra® in full to part sun with moist, well-drained soil. It tolerates a wide pH range, so you do not need to adjust soil chemistry for flower color. The upright panicles are also useful for fresh and dried arrangements, giving you garden beauty outdoors and stems to enjoy indoors.
