Blooms persist all summer long, shifting from a creamy white to a deep red in early fall as they age. The flowers aren't the only thing that will change colors! This is one of the only panicle hydrangeas that taken on an excellent fall foliage color as well. Though not all hydrangeas are very pollinator-friendly, thankfully, Little Quick Fire® is!
