Quick Fire Fab has football-sized, mophead blooms with densely packed x-shaped flowers of a creamy white color. The blooms age pink, to bright pink, to deep red through the season, starting at the base of the bloom and working up towards the tip. It blooms earlier in the summer than the other panicle hydrangeas, extending the color show through the seasons. Beautiful for use as a fresh or dried cut flower and deadheading is not necessary for continued bloom.

Our deciduous shrubs are entering their natural dormancy phase. As part of this process, foliage is turning colors, drying out, and falling off—this is completely normal! Shedding leaves helps the plants conserve energy and prepare for the next growing season. Rest assured, your shrubs will wake up and thrive again when it's time in your growing zone. Dormancy is how they prepare for a healthy, vibrant comeback as the seasons change!

 

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.
