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. 

  • 2-3 feet tall and 3 feet 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 feet apart for best results
  • Produces white flowers in late summer, aging to shades of pink and red in the fall
  • Maintains green foliage spring and summer, maturing to hues of orange, maroon, and red in the fall
  • Blooms on new wood
  • Great for borders, containers, landscapes, hedges, cut and dried flowers
  • Salt tolerant, fall interest

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.
