First Editions^® Little Hottie^® Panicle Hydrangea

Common Name: First Editions® Little Hottie® Panicle Hydrangea

Little Hottie® panicle hydrangea brings a genetic compact size and heat tolerance to the crowded H. paniculata marketplace. This cultivar went through years of trials to ensure it could really hold up to the heat, as well as maintain its compact size. The basal branching structure provides ease of maintenance, reducing the ongoing pruning needed to maintain shape, form, and branch structure. Little Hottie has very full flower heads with florets that emerge green and turn sparkling white. This well-branched, compact panicle hydrangea is covered in large blooms from the bottom to the top of the plant and holds tight flower clusters out on strong stems. Flowers don’t get heat-stressed or turn brown in excessive heat. Fall color is soft pink.
