Hydrangea Early Evolution® Panicle Hydrangea

Hydrangea Early Evolution® is a delightful addition to any garden, offering a more compact form than most paniculata hydrangeas. Growing to approximately 2+ feet tall and wide, this shrub fits perfectly into small urban gardens or patio pots, providing a lush, vibrant display in limited spaces.

Early Evolution hydrangea begins setting buds as early as late spring and continues to bloom profusely until fall. The large, showy flowers appear in unique flattened clusters that continuously change color throughout the season, creating a lacy, multicolored effect. Starting as lime-white, the blossoms turn pure white, then blush salmon pink, and finally dark pink as fall approaches, offering a dynamic and evolving display.

As a Hydrangea paniculata, commonly known as panicle hydrangea, Early Evolution features a compact, freely branching, and bushy habit. It's perfect for tucking into small spaces alongside a mix of perennials or for mass planting in mixed beds and borders. This shrub is also an excellent choice for a cutting garden, providing an abundant supply of stunning flowers for fresh arrangements.

Early Evolution hydrangea thrives in sunny to partially sunny spots with moist, well-draining soil. Unlike other hydrangeas, panicle hydrangeas tolerate more sun and drought, making them a versatile and resilient choice. For optimal growth, morning sun and afternoon shade are ideal, especially in hotter southern regions. This tough, easy-care shrub also resists pests and diseases, making it a low maintenance option for gardeners of all skill levels.

Add Hydrangea Early Evolution to your garden for a compact, colorful, and continually changing floral display. Its ease of care and long blooming season make it a must-have for any garden setting.

When fall nights grow cooler, some panicle hydrangeas may reveal pink or red accents, an enchanting transformation that's natural and variable. In milder climates, expect blooms to stay closer to their original creamy tones.
