Description
Hydrangea paniculata ‘Living Candy Love’ is a paniculate hydrangea ideal for small gardens, borders and growing in pots. Compact and generous, it offers a decorative flowering for about 100 days, in the form of very dense panicles, changing from cream white to pink. Its sturdy stems easily support the weight of the flowers, and its hardiness (down to –30 °C) allows it to be grown even in very cold climates.
Living Candy Love® (formerly marketed under the name ‘Living Summer Love’) is a compact paniculate hydrangea, registered under the code name ‘LC NO2’ PBR. It was bred in 2017 by Alex Schoemaker, a Dutch horticulturist based in Boskoop. This cultivar is part of the Living Creations® series, an innovative collection of paniculate hydrangeas selected for their exceptionally long flowering (up to 100 days), their robustness and ease of cultivation, even in harsh climates. This cultivar received a bronze medal at the KVBC* competition for its particularly long flowering, its impeccable appearance and the exceptional density of its panicles.
With a bushy and well-branched habit, ‘Living Candy Love’ reaches approximately 1.30m in height and 1.50m in width at maturity. Its deciduous, dark green and slightly downy foliage remains decorative throughout the season before falling in autumn. Its stems are robust and very straight. The long flowering period begins in July and extends until the end of September. The floral panicles are composed solely of sterile flowers that change from cream-white to a deep pink over time. You will see them change appearance every 4 weeks. This variety flowers on the current year’s wood, which makes it more tolerant of spring frosts.
With its moderate growth, Hydrangea paniculata 'Living Candy Love' is an excellent choice for small spaces, shrub borders, low hedges or container cultivation. Its long-lasting and decorative inflorescences are also well-suited for fresh or dried arrangements. To accompany it, choose, for example, white or pink cluster-flowered bush roses, weigelas for pots and deutzias to play with contrasts and shapes.
*prestigious competition in Europe, founded by KVBC (Belgian association of plant producers), regularly testing new cultivars; it gives an insight into their performance under varied conditions.

Planting and care
Hydrangea paniculata 'Living Candy Love' is not demanding about soil type, as long as it is not too heavy, too alkaline, or too dry in summer. It requires a sunny position that is not scorching or partial shade. When planting, place it in deeply worked soil. A good base fertiliser (hoof and horn or dried blood) will help your plant establish and feed it without risk of scorch. If your soil tends to be dry, mix compost and potting compost with the soil when backfilling the planting hole, and create a watering basin on the surface. Mulch in summer to save on watering. The growth in spring is quite late.
Hydrangea paniculata are more resilient to occasional lack of water and establish easily even in non-acidic soil (though avoid strongly chalky soils).

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
