Hydrangea paniculata 'Sundae Fraise' pbr
'Sundae Fraise' is a stylish new variety that has gained popularity for its sun tolerance, stunning blooms, and compact growth habit. This compact, deciduous shrub features cone-shaped flower clusters. These large panicles start out green in early summer, gradually turning bright, crisp white. As the season progresses, the blooms transition into soft pink, deepening into rich pink by autumn. In autumn, the foliage turns shades of yellow, offering a beautiful contrast to the vibrant blooms before dropping for winter. Warners have dedicated decades to growing and perfecting the best selection of Hydrangeas, ensuring you receive the finest and most vibrant varieties to enhance your garden.
Cultural
Hydrangea paniculata thrives in full sun to part shade, though in hotter climates, it benefits from some afternoon shade to prevent leaf scorch. It prefers well-draining soil rich in organic matter. After flowering, deadhead and prune the plant to maintain its shape; if needed, it can be cut back quite hard without harm. For optimal growth, apply an organic slow-release fertiliser in late spring. While generally pest-resistant, it's wise to keep an eye out for common issues such as aphids or powdery mildew.
Landscape Uses
Its striking, large flower clusters make it an excellent focal point in garden beds or borders. It pairs beautifully with perennials, shrubs, and grasses, adding a burst of colour and texture to mixed borders. Great for large pots and containers, making them perfect for patios, decks, or small gardens. When mass-planted, they create an incredible display. Additionally, their long-lasting blooms are perfect for floral arrangements and can be used as cut flowers in indoor displays.
