Hydrangea living Infinity / 23Cm
Hydrangea paniculata Living Infinity®
Confirmed format: 23cm Pot
Plant Highlights: Exceptionally long flowering season • Large cone-shaped flower heads • Flowers mature from white to deep red • Compact, sturdy growth habit • Ideal for borders and large containers
Overview
Hydrangea paniculata Living Infinity® is a compact panicle hydrangea bred for an exceptionally long flowering season, producing elegant cone-shaped blooms for well over 100 days. The flowers emerge crisp white in early summer, gradually blushing pink before maturing to rich deep red tones as autumn approaches, creating an ever-changing display. Strong, well-branched stems support the large flower heads without staking, making this an excellent choice for mixed borders, specimen planting and large patio containers. As a panicle hydrangea, it flowers on the current season's growth, providing reliable performance year after year.
Why We Love It
We love Hydrangea paniculata Living Infinity® for its extraordinary colour-changing blooms that transition smoothly from white to deep red across a long season, supported on sturdy stems without needing staking.
