Quick Fire Fab® Panicle Hydrangea (paniculata)

I bought 5 different types of 1 gallon hydrangea during Nov 2024, including puffer fish, gatsby moon oakleaf, quick fire fab, limelight prime, and incredible blush. They all came in with just little bare branches, except for the oakleaf type with some small leaves. All nicely packaged. I was pretty suspicious about whether they will grow out. Turns out they did. :-) Plenty leaves by April now, no buds yet, but all look healthy. I would recommend waiting till spring to purchase. The plants are in much better shape when I got the new addition in April.

These arrived with the black elderberry plant. These had crispy leaves, but again, they were traveling for a few days and temps are hot. Planted and keeping them watered. I think they'll do fine.

Arrived in perfect condition. I am so happy with my plants!

A bit smaller than anticipated, but healthy.

They seem to be doing well. Haven't been able to plant yet since still having hard freezes, but doing well in my sunroom with the rest of the plants waiting their to turn to go out. These will go up both sides of my driveway for some privacy and gorgeous color.

Location: Green Bay, Wisconsin, zone 5. Full sun. I bought 8 quart-size and 1 gallon size. I'm a novice that's slowly building a romantic-cottage style garden on a new-build (blank slate smallish residential plot). I planted these Quick Fire Fabs two weeks too early for my zone (I should have waited until Memorial Day weekend). The quart size plants were placed along backyard for an eventual hedge (northeast & southeast facing) with a line of 2 year old emerald arborvitaes set behind them. Gallon plant was planted in my front yard bed (west facing). A hard frost hit the night after I put them in and the all of the quart sized plants lost their leaves, their stems also browned and died. But I kept covering them each night for two weeks with upside down pots, kept the soil moist, amended top with worm castings and mulch. And they all re-grew with brand new stems and leaves and made growth all season long! Some even ended up with a flower or two by the end of summer! The color transition is amazing and I can't wait to see them creep and leap in the next two years! All came back over winter (I trimmed them down to 2-4 main stems March 8th). I did end up putting cages around them last summer to protect them from rabbits, and again, watered throughout the season. Thanks PW for your hard work at making your plants so intentionally healthy and lovely! I do a lot of research before committing to any new plant, and time and time again, it's PW that I go with. :)

A great addition to my garden. Found a perfect place to plant and enjoy its beauty.

Came nice and green and was easy to transplant. So far so good

Loved it

Have only had it a couple weeks. It came quickly, but was very small. Only two stems, and one was broken off. It is growing. I'm hopeful it will increase in size.

Healthy little plant

I bought 2 of quick fire fab 2 years ago, and now they are showing off. They are very beautiful and really big blooms. People love them .

Planted in the fall and by spring they are flourishing and doing wonderfully! Great product.

Easy to order. Came packaged well with very good instructions. Plant looks very healthy!

They came looking great! I thought they would be a little bigger but I was not disappointed at all! The foliage is thick and green and should root in well and grow significantly in the Spring.

The plant came wrapped and boxed in great shape..planted it right away and it is doing just great!

While still quite a young plant, she arrived looking healthy and strong. I will be excited to see her grow and develop into the gorgeous plant I've been seeing on the "Garden Answer" YouTube channel where I get most of my inspiration. Thanks!

I ordered the gallon size and it arrived in great condition! Big and healthy!

As I am normally happy with the products from Proven Winners Direct, I ordered the gallon size. I wanted to ensure a healthy beginning here at the end of the summer. Two of the plants look good; one of them is pretty spindly and could better be served in a quart container. I am hoping it will catch up as I do not want to pay the shipping or struggle the hassle of exchanging it. Shipping and handling department did a great job as usual getting it to me on a timely basis; the pickers or growers could probably have had had a bad day. I see there is only one left in stock so maybe I got the 3 best they had? However, I look forward to some pretty blooms on all 3 in a couple of years.

Plants arrived two days after ordering. They were very healthy looking. They have been planted about a week and a half and are looking fantastic. Can’t wait until next year to see a few blooms!

I ordered 3 to create a hedge in my front yard. I’m so excited for them to get bigger! My daughter is very excited to see them turn pink in the years to come!

I ordered these last year and planted in mid summer. They were very small and not super strong looking, but they hung in there and this year they’re doing magnificent! Very happy with them!

I ordered three Quick Fire Hydrangeas and they were packaged with care and came in excellent health.

So far so good…I just planted them about a week ago…they arrived looking fine so hoping they thrive!

I'm sure these are beautiful plants, but the ones I received were very small had hardly any roots. One promptly died and the other one has only one tiny stem still alive. Next time I will just buy at my local garden center.
