Fire Light Hydrangea paniculata hardy upright deciduous shrub with dark sturdy stems and dark green foliage. The packed florets open creamy white in midsummer and mature to rich pomegranate red by fall, attracting butterflies. While it can tolerate full sun, its best blooms are in part sun and rich, moist well-drained acidic soils.
