Panicle Hydrangeas, unlike other Hydrangeas, allow for lots of different pruning times. You can prune this shrub once it goes dormant in late fall, or wait until late winter or early spring to cut it back by 1/3 its height. But do prune, as this creates a stronger shrub with better blooming capacity. Fertilize in early spring. (Many gardeners advise that a granular rose food be used for this purpose.) Keep in full sun, and be sure this plant's soil drains well.

With dwarf Fire Light Tidbit® Hydrangea, everyone has room for a bloom-covered shrub in the yard. While this unique shrub may be small, it doesn’t sacrifice the large and beautiful flowers we all love. In early- to mid-summer, this shrub shows off dozens of impressively large white and lime blooms. As summer progresses, these flowers become blushed with pink and red tones that stay colorful until the first frost. This Hydrangea features colorful fall foliage, which is a unique attribute of a Hydrangea of this kind. There is no need to worry about flopping flowers: This easy-care shrub has thick and sturdy stems that create a neat, mounded form. Perfect for the landscape, flower garden, and even containers, Fire Light Tidbit® is really versatile.

Landscape uses: Use as a backdrop, in foundation or mass plantings, as a hedge, or for fresh or dried cut flowers.
