White Wedding Hydrangea

Hydrangea paniculata 'LeeP1' PP#28973

This panicle hydrangea is known for its lush, pure white blooms that appear in mid- to late summer and last well into fall, aging to a soft blush-pink in cooler weather. Its upright, compact form makes it perfect for small garden beds, foundation plantings, or containers. Strong stems hold large flower clusters upright even after rain, and its low-maintenance nature makes it ideal for gardeners of all levels. It’s also a butterfly magnet and a reliable bloomer even in warmer climates.
