Fire Light Tidbit® is a dwarf hydrangea which is great for the front of the beds, borders, or edges with a bun-shaped habit and proportionately sized rounded blooms that are so abundant they nearly block out the textured foliage. The late-season blooms emerge a creamy, light green-white and quickly begin to turn raspberry pink, while the foliage transitions to hues of orange, maroon, and red in the fall, creating a stunning display of color.
