Hydrangea pan. Quick Fire Fab (Panicle) Shrub, Proven Winners, White to Pink Flowers

The Quick Fire Fab panicle hydrangea from Green Promise Farms is an absolute delight for any outdoor living space. This fabulous plant shares the same super-early bloom time, rock-solid reliability, and easy-going nature as the original Quick Fire hydrangea, but with the addition of big, full, and showy mophead blooms. The result is a truly captivating display that will wow your senses.

One of the standout features of the Quick Fire Fab is its ability to produce the earliest possible panicle hydrangea flowers, expanding the seasonal display by two weeks or more every year. When you look closely at the lush blooms, you'll notice an unusual cruciform shape to each floret, adding a unique textural effect that sets this variety apart from other panicle hydrangeas.

As the blooms age, they undergo a beautiful color transformation, starting with a blush pink, then transitioning to bright pink, and finally, a rich red – all from the bottom up, creating a visually stunning effect that resembles a delicious ice cream cone, from vanilla to berry, as the summer progresses. This stunning display provides 3+ months of vibrant flowers and color in your landscape or garden, with minimal effort required on your part.

To ensure the continued health and vigor of your Quick Fire Fab, it's recommended to prune the plant by cutting back the main branches by one-third in late winter or early spring. You can also prune in late fall, once the plant has gone completely dormant, if desired. Panicle hydrangeas thrive in well-drained soil, so no soil amendments are necessary when planting.

For optimal growth and bloom production, consider fertilizing the plant in early spring (as the ground begins to thaw in cold climates) using a granular rose fertilizer. You may also choose to fertilize monthly through late July for more rapid growth, though this is not essential for a healthy, abundantly-blooming plant.

With its strong, sturdy stems that keep the blooms clean, upright, and showy all year round, the Quick Fire Fab is ready to plant upon arrival, weather permitting. This hydrangea can be a commanding specimen in the landscape or a truly memorable flowering hedge, thanks to its full size and vigorous growth.

Whether you're looking to add a stunning focal point to your outdoor living space or create a lush, colorful hedge, the Quick Fire Fab panicle hydrangea from Green Promise Farms is an exceptional choice that will delight you with its beauty and ease of care.
