Description
The Hydrangea paniculata 'Tickled Pink' is a variety of paniculate hydrangea with a compact habit, that can be grown in large containers. Well-branched, this hydrangea stands out with its large panicles of white flowers, appearing early in the season and lasting throughout the summer, before turning pink in autumn. Accommodating to different soil types, it does not require acidic soil to grow and is content with a neutral, or even slightly alkaline soil, as long as it does not dry out too much. Very hardy, it is the ideal hydrangea for beginners in the garden.
The Hydrangea paniculata, also known as Mountain Hydrangea, is a species of hydrangea belonging to the Hydrangeaceae family, native to deciduous forests in China and Japan. Particularly hardy, it is easy to cultivate in any good garden soil that remains moist. In the past, only large-growing varieties existed, but breeders have worked extensively on this species to introduce numerous compact cultivars. In the 1970s, botanist Jelena de Belder introduced the variety Pink Diamond to the market, which quickly gained attention with its white flowers that change colour during flowering.
The variety 'Tickled Pink' is an improvement obtained by the American Michael Dirr, horticulturist and professor at the University of Georgia in the United States. More compact, as it does not exceed 1.50 m (4 ft 11 in) in height but can spread in width, it bears large panicles of 20 to 25 cm (7.9 to 9.8 in) white flowers starting from the end of June. In August-September, these gradually change colour to a beautiful pink hue, preceding the leaf fall. The hardiness of this shrub is very good, down to -25°C (-13 °F), which allows it to be planted practically anywhere in France.
The Hydrangea paniculata 'Tickled Pink' is the ideal hydrangea for gardeners frustrated by not being able to plant Hydrangea macrophylla due to unsuitable soil and climate. This hydrangea tolerates full sun very well, which is a definite advantage for this category of shrubs, and its compact size allows it to be grown in large containers on a terrace. It will be appreciated for its long flowering period, which can even be extended by using dried bouquets. In the garden, it can be planted alongside shrubs that flower at other times. An Hamamelis 'Diane' will open the season with its winter red flowering, followed in late winter by a Japanese quince or the lesser-known Abeliophyllum distichum, resembling popular forsythias but with white flowers. Spring offers a plethora of choices, from the Snowmound spirea to the numerous weigelas. To accompany our 'Tickled Pink' hydrangea during the summer, nothing is better than a Lagerstroemia, and to enjoy a foliage contrast, the golden attire of the Leycesteria formosa Golden Lanterns (Pheasant Berry) will be perfect. And to complete the circle, decorative fruits for autumn and winter, such as those of symphorines.

Planting and care
The Hydrangea paniculata Tickled Pink is not very demanding on the nature of the soil, as long as it is not too heavy. It does not require heathland soil and can grow in neutral soil and even tolerate some limestone. It also adapts well to sandy or rocky terrain as long as it remains slightly moist, or by being well watered. In these conditions, it is advisable to add compost to the base of the bush every year.
It requires a sunny exposure, not scorching or semi-shaded. At planting, place it in deeply worked soil, after soaking the root ball in a bucket of water for half an hour. A good base fertilizer (horn or dehydrated blood) will promote the growth of your plant and nourish it without risk of burning. If your soil tends to be dry, mix compost with the soil when filling the planting hole and provide a watering basin on the surface.
At the end of summer, we recommend not cutting the dry panicles that will protect the terminal shoots of the branches in winter. Cut all the dry flowers at the end of February or at the first signs of spring and remove some branches by pruning them very short every year to promote the growth of new shoots.

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.
