Description
Hydrangea paniculata 'White Moth' is a remarkable variety. It stands out with an undisciplined habit, resembling a sprawling and irregular bush. It bears huge, globular, white and vaporous panicles, which take on a pretty green hue in autumn. Its growth rate is quite fast. It is more accommodating than the large-leaf hybrids, and therefore deserves to be highlighted, alone, for its unique charm. Its long summer flowering is attractive until frost.
Hydrangea paniculata belongs to the Hydrangeaceae family, native to China and Japan. Hydrangea paniculata are resistant to drought and easy to grow even in non-acidic soil. They bloom generously from June until frost. Planted in the sun, their inflorescences change colour in the autumn.
'White Moth', derived from the famous cultivar 'Unique', forms an irregular but fairly compact bushy mass, quickly reaching 1.8m (6ft) in height and 2m (7ft) in spread, which remains moderate for a paniculate hydrangea. From the beginning of July, it blossoms on one-year-old wood with large, conical or spherical panicles, sometimes reaching 25cm (10in) in diameter and 30cm (12in) in length. They gather a cloud of single sterile florets, carried by long pedicels, evolving from a white hue to a beautiful pale green, sometimes tinged with soft pink, when the bush is planted in a sunny location. This inflorescence, where a few tiny cream sterile florets mix, bends elegantly, giving an impression of opulence and lightness. 'White Moth' has a ramified and disorderly vegetation, and branches covered with dark green ovate leaves, turning yellow in autumn, before disappearing in winter.
Hydrangea paniculata differs from its cousin Hydrangea macrophylla with its good tolerance to sun, sea spray, and relative drought. When planted in any good garden soil, without too much limestone, 'White Moth' shows rapid growth. This is a very hardy variety, to be planted alone for its strong presence, in a hedge or in a group planting, or even in a light undergrowth, mixed with other hydrangeas, to play with contrasts and shapes. You can also plant it with grasses such as miscanthus, Panicum virgatum 'Squaw', and Stipa, as well as fuchsia magellanica. At Vaterival, they chose to match it with Miscanthus 'Cosmopolitan', variegated with white, in an original and refined scene.

Planting and care
'White Moth' is not very demanding about the nature of the soil, as long as it is not too heavy, and not too chalky. It requires a semi-shaded or sunny but not scorching exposure. Plant it in deeply worked soil. A good base fertiliser will promote the recovery of your young plant and nourish it without risk of burning. If your soil is dry, mix our water retainer, stockosorb, with the soil when filling the planting hole and plan a surface watering basin.
At the end of summer, leave the dried panicles on the bush as they will protect the terminal shoots of the branches in winter. Remove the dead flowers at the end of February or at the first sign of warm weather. The spring vegetation is quite late.

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.
