Peegee hydrangea is a vigorous, upright, rapidly growing, somewhat coarsely textured, deciduous shrub which grows 10-25' tall. Features conical, terminal flower panicles (typically 6-8\ long) consisting almost entirely of sterile florets. Larger flower panicles (to 18\" long) can be obtained by thinning plants to 5-10 primary shoots.

In full bloom, the weight of the flower panicles will typically cause the branches to arch downward.... more »
