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.

  • Blooms on new wood
  • Great for borders, containers, landscapes, hedges, cut and dried flowers
  • Long blooming, deadheading not necessary, 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.

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.

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!

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.
