Hydrangeaceae

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Burgundy Lace’ is a highly ornamental shrub hydrangea, valued for both its elegant blooms and its remarkable foliage coloration. This variety is distinguished by its airy, conical panicles, which are initially creamy white and then turn slightly pink in late summer, contrasting beautifully with its dark green foliage that turns purple and burgundy in autumn. Its overall habit is upright, dense, and well-structured, offering a balanced silhouette ideal for borders, flowering hedges, and specimen plantings. Like all Hydrangea paniculata, ‘Burgundy Lace’ blooms on new wood, ensuring reliable flowering each season. The deciduous foliage, which is very decorative late in the season, extends its ornamental interest well beyond the blooming period. Its hardiness and prolonged visual appeal make it an excellent choice for northern gardens.
