Hydrangea paniculata
What is the plant
Hydrangea paniculata is a deciduous shrub or small tree, 1â5 m (3.3â16.4 ft) tall by 2.5 m (8 ft) broad, growing in sparse forests or thickets in valleys or on mountain slopes. The leaves are broadly oval, toothed and 7â15 cm (3â6 in) long. In late summer it bears large conical panicles of creamy white fertile flowers, together with pinkish white sterile florets. Florets may open pale green, grading to white with age, thus creating a pleasing âtwo-toneâ effect. Hydrangea is derived from Greek, meaning âwater vesselâ, in reference to the shape of the capsules. Paniculata means âwith branched-racemose or cymose inflorescencesâ, âtuftedâ, âpaniculateâ, or âwith paniclesâ. This name is in reference to the flowers of this species.
