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. 

  • 6-8 feet tall and 5-6 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 5-6 feet apart for best results
  • Produces white blooms in early summer aging to pink and red shades in fall
  • Maintains green foliage spring to frost
  • Blooms on new wood
  • Great for borders, containers, landscapes, hedges, cut and dried flowers
  • Long blooming, deadheading not necessary, 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.

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.

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!
