The earliest blooming Panicle Hydrangea that we have recognized, taking the lead with its lovely creamy white flowers perched on a strong, upright form. And since it blossoms sooner, you'll have extra moments to relax and take in the scenery.

The Torch™ Hardy Hydrangea brings a delightful touch to any garden, showcasing both charm and strength. This small variety flourishes in USDA hardiness zones 3-8, making it a perfect pick for many different climates. The big, colorful blooms start off as creamy white and gradually change to lovely shades of pink as the season goes on, creating a beautiful contrast with the dark green leaves. The plant grows tall and proud, reaching heights of 4-5 feet and spreading out just as wide. It's just right for cozy gardens or as a standout feature in bigger spaces.

Torch™ is a wonderful option for many garden purposes, whether it's creating a lovely shrub border, enhancing your foundation, or standing out as a unique specimen plant. Their blooms draw in friendly visitors like bees and butterflies, helping your garden thrive and flourish with life. This hydrangea is also resistant to deer, making it a wonderful choice for spots where wildlife might be a worry. When it comes to furry friends, Torch™ Hardy Hydrangea is safe for both dogs and cats, making it a wonderful choice for your family garden.

Taking care of Torch™ Hardy Hydrangea is simple and easy. It loves to grow in soil that drains well and stays moist, basking in the warm sun or enjoying a bit of shade. When you’re ready to plant, find a sunny spot to help those blooms shine their brightest! Make sure to give your plants a good drink often, especially when the sun is shining bright and the ground feels dry, so the earth stays nice and damp, but not too soggy. Spread a cozy blanket of mulch around the base to keep the soil snug and the roots safe when the chilly months arrive. Snip away the old and broken branches in the bright early spring to help your plant grow strong and take on a lovely shape. In early spring, sprinkle some balanced, slow-release fertilizer around your plants to help them grow strong and produce lots of beautiful flowers all summer long.
