Hydrangea paniculata Everest is a beautifully frothy garden hydrangea with loose, cone-shaped flower heads. The lime-green buds open to white flowers which turn pink as they mature, giving much-needed freshness to the garden in late summer and into the autumn.
Deciduous shrubs, paniculata hydrangeas are natives of China and Japan and are very hardy. They like to have cool roots, so do well behind a wall, and Hydrangea Everest thrives in dappled shade and can light up a dull corner. It looks great in a pot, but keep it well watered, especially in terracotta.
