Panicled Hydrangea

  • Growth size: between 8 and 20 feet tall by 6 to 8 feet wide
  • Growing requirements: moist, rich soil; full sun to partial shade positioning

Probably considered to be one of the most beautiful shrubs out there, hydrangeas are also one of those that are going to be growing fast, so you can enjoy their pretty, showy bloom in a matter of months.

Hydrangeas are some of the plants that grow fast, and the best variety if you do not want them to take a long time is to go for the Panicled Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata).

The shrub that will grow is going to be anywhere from medium to large in size, depending on how much you allow it to grow, and its shape will be oval to elliptical, so you need to make sure you have enough space for it.

The leaves are going to run bright green in mid-spring, and soon after, you are going to see panicles of flowers make their appearance. They will first appear in cone-shaped inflorescence, and you will be able to enjoy them all through the summer and fall.

In the fall, these flowers are going to turn a cinnamon-red color.

This shrub is perfect if you are looking for a fast-growing one, as it reaches its full maturity in three years, and it can grow even more than 12 inches a year if you can meet its growing conditions so keep them for a fast and spectacular growth.
