Plant received in very good condition. As a precaution, I kept it in a pot for two years before planting it out into a shaded hedge in 2025. It has settled in very well, with pretty flowers, although it blooms rather timidly. I will give it a bit more light next year.

Vigorous and very hardy, this shrub flowers from July to October on the current year's shoots. It grows in full sun or partial shade, in any deep, moist, well-drained soil.

Planting and care

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Phantom’ should preferably be planted in autumn or spring, in full sun or partial shade. In hot regions, choose a position protected from the scorching afternoon sun. Plant it in a deep, humus-bearing, well-drained soil that retains some moisture in summer. It tolerates clay and slightly chalky soils, provided they are neither waterlogged in winter nor dry in summer. Water regularly for the first two years and mulch around the base.

Care

Pruning instructions Prune in late winter. Remove dead wood and weak shoots, then shorten the previous year’s stems. Moderate pruning will increase the number of panicles, but they will be smaller; harder pruning produces fewer flowers, but larger ones. The inflorescences can remain on the shrub over winter or be cut at ripeness for dried cut flower arrangements.
