Hydrangea paniculata 'Polar Bear' PBR is a compact, hardy, deciduous shrub growing to approx. 1.5 m x 1.5 m making it ideal to grow in a border, smaller garden or large pot. It has an upright habit & ovate green leaves & densely packed conical flower heads are produced from midsummer to autumn. Lime-green buds open to white flowers that become tinted with pale-pink by the end of the season. Flower heads look attractive when left to dry on the plant & can then be cut & are everlasting. Easily grown in any reasonable moist but well-drained soil in sun/part-shade.Best planted in a sheltered position.

3 litre pot - Collection from the nursery only

Care: Cut stems back to a few flower buds in spring to encourage longer flower heads. If plant is not cut back flowers will just be smaller. Cut out any dead, thin or stringy branches.

Looks good as a specimen plant & when planted with shrubs - Physocarpus opulifolius, Viburnum, Philadelphus & Weigelia & herbaceous perennials - Salvia, Veronica, Lychnis, Agastache & Hellebores.
