Please note: Our Ships Now shrubs are still waking up from dormancy! In the spring, shrubs begin to emerge from dormancy with swelling buds and potentially new growth as temperatures rise and daylight hours increase. Most dormant shrubs start leafing out in April, depending on the specific plant and local weather conditions.

As a larger, puffed-up version of Bobo, Puffer Fish® panicle hydrangea has white fluffy blooms that engulf the entire plant, nearly obscuring the foliage. The flowers open as a beautiful, pure white bloom, and as they age, turn lime green with a fresh sprig of white flowers blooming at the tip of the panicle. Puffer Fish has a tight, compact growing habit with upright stems strong enough to hold its voluptuous blooms all season long.

3-5 feet tall and wide at maturity
Hardy in zones 3-8, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success
Plant in part sun (4+ hours daily) in southern climates and part to full sun in northern climates
Space plants 3-5 feet apart for best results
Produces fluffy white flowers that age to lime green from summer through fall
Maintains green foliage spring to frost
Blooms on new wood
Great for borders, containers, landscapes, hedges, cut or dried flowers
Salt tolerant, fall interest

Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer. Prefers well-drained soil that does not remain soggy for any amount of time. To prune, simply cut back by one-third of its total height every spring, just as new growth begins to emerge on stems. Make cuts just about 1/4 of an inch above a bud. Dead or damaged wood can be removed at any time.
