This Hydrangea paniculata is a deciduous plant so during the dormant season in early autumn it will lose all its leaves shooting new growth in the spring.

Hydrangea paniculata Fraise Melba is an upright deciduous shrub with dense long lasting panicles of flowers opening white in July and gradually turning dark pink red from the bottom as the season progresses. The flowers then stay dark pink red into the autumn against the oval pointed green leaves. The colour shades may vary with location soil type and climate.

Eventual height up to 2 metres with a spread of up to 1.5 metres.
