Powerball™ Panicle Hydrangea: Looking for something new in the world of hydrangeas? Powerball™ is here to wow! Unlike typical panicle hydrangeas, this variety features spherical, dense blooms that resemble mophead hydrangeas more than the usual conical flowers of Hydrangea paniculata. The rounded blooms open in a refreshing green and gradually shift to deep pink as summer progresses, offering a unique, ever-changing display.
But it’s not just about looks. Powerball™ also delivers on strength, with sturdy stems that hold up its large blooms, making it an outstanding option for both landscapes and containers. And for those in colder climates where Hydrangea macrophylla struggles, Powerball™ is the perfect substitute, blooming reliably on new wood every year.
As always, grown without harmful pesticides, making it a healthy choice for your garden and the planet. Guaranteed to arrive strong and bloom throughout the season, bringing dynamic color to your garden or container!
