Overview
Hydrangea paniculata 'Fire Tiny Bit' is a remarkably compact dwarf panicle hydrangea celebrated for its stunning colour-changing blooms and fiery autumn interest. Reaching a mature height and spread of just 60 cm, this bushy and upright deciduous shrub produces large, upright flower clusters on sturdy stems. Emerging lime-green to creamy-white in July, the blooms transition through rich shades of pink and deep red as the season progresses, creating an exceptional display right through to October.
