Hydrangea Quick Fire Fab®🌸(Panicle Hydrangea) / Plus "Tips & Tricks" For Deeper Color & MORE FLOWERS

An outstanding introduction from proven winners, this is Hydrangea Quickfire Fab, a variety that was bred by Megan Matai at Spring Meadow Nurseries and introduced first in 2021. It's one of the earliest of all of the PG varieties to come into flower, starts out with these lovely creamy white flowers, and then as you see when we start to get into cooler nights, turns this gorgeous simply wonderful color of bright vivid pink. Now one thing I should mention, and that is that early flowering varieties like this one may not begin to take on this beautiful bright pink coloration until we get into the cool autumn conditions. Often early flowering varieties like this, in the warm humid nights of summer, will turn from white through to beige, and sometimes even brownish shades. And so if you like all of this beautiful bright pink color that we're getting now at this time of year, there's a little trick that we employ that you might want to try to copy. And that is that we actually go in and prune these plants back twice in the same year. We prune them first in early spring to stimulate plenty of strong vigorous growth, and then we give them a second trim round about the middle of June. Now what that does is that it encourages extra bushy growth, it obviously sets back the flowering time, they start to make the flower buds which then as they come out in the cool autumn conditions, take on all of this gorgeous bright pink coloration. Now another little thing I should mention, and that is that if you live in a milder part of our region, and you get that first round of flowers and you see them starting to discolor a little bit, then it might be worthwhile going in and trimming those off, because you might just, particularly if we get a mild autumn, get a second range of flowering. So you stand a chance of getting re-bloom if you trim back the old flowers and we get a mild autumn. A couple of little tricks that we employ here in the nursery that you might want to try at home.
