Description
It is a deciduous shrub or small tree, 1–5 m (3.3–16.4 ft) tall by 2.5 m (8 ft) broad, growing in sparse forests or thickets in valleys or on mountain slopes.[1]
The leaves are broadly oval, toothed and 7–15 cm (3–6 in) long. In late summer it bears large conical panicles of creamy white fertile flowers, together with pinkish-white sterile florets. Florets may open pale green, grading to white with age, thus creating a pleasing “two-tone” effect.[4]
Cultivation
In cultivation it is pruned in spring to obtain larger flower heads.[5]
Numerous cultivars have been developed for ornamental use, of which the following have gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit:-[6]
- ’Big Ben’[7]
- ’Limelight’ (PBR)[8]
- ’Phantom’[9]
- Pink Diamond = ‘Interhydia’[10]
- Pinky-Winky = ‘Dvppinky’ (PBR)[11]
- ’Silver Dollar’[12] (suitable for smaller gardens)
Those cultivars marked (PBR) are protected by plant breeders' rights from unauthorised propagation.
Other cultivars include:
- ‘Praecox,’[13] a particularly early flowering cultivar
Uses
Hydrangea paniculata is sometimes smoked as an intoxicant, despite the danger of illness and/or death due to the cyanide[14][unreliable source?] present as cyanogenic glycosides.[15]
Etymology
Hydrangea is derived from Greek, meaning ‘water vessel’, in reference to the shape of the capsules.[16]
Paniculata means ‘with branched-racemose or cymose inflorescences’, ‘tufted’, ‘paniculate’, or ‘with panicles’. This name is about the flowers of this species.[16]
