Panicle Hydrangea

Hydrangea paniculata 'French Manicure'

If you love classic white hydrangeas but want something just a little different, French Manicure is sure to catch your eye. Its large, creamy-white blooms are delicately outlined in bright white, creating a crisp, elegant look that's unlike any other panicle hydrangea. As summer gives way to fall, the blooms soften to blush pink, keeping the show going for months. It's an easy-care shrub that looks right at home in everything from cottage gardens to modern landscapes—and you'll probably catch the neighbors asking what it is.
