Hydrangea paniculata 'Tardiva'
Common Name: Tardiva Panicle Hydrangea
Hydrangea paniculata ‘Tardiva’ is a deciduous shrub known for its airy, loosely branched white flower panicles that appear later than many other panicle hydrangeas, often extending bloom well into late summer and early fall. This panicle hydrangea blooms on new wood, with flowers gradually aging to soft pink and tan tones as the season progresses. Its open flower structure gives it a lighter, more natural appearance than denser cultivars. Type: Deciduous shrub Mature Size: Width: 6–10 ft · Height: 8–12 ft USDA Zones: 3a–8b Form: Upright, vase-shaped Light: Full sun to partial shade Soil: Adaptable; moist, well-drained soil preferred Water: Medium; benefits from regular moisture during dry periods Wildlife: Attracts bees and other pollinating insects Features & Landscape Uses: Excellent for larger borders, screening, specimen planting, and naturalized settings where its late bloom season extends hydrangea interest into fall. The airy flower panicles also work well in fresh and dried arrangements. Care: Plant in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil. Because it blooms on new wood, prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage vigorous flowering. Mulch to conserve moisture and support root health.
