Family Hydrangeaceae

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Dragon Baby’ is a compact and very floriferous shrubby hydrangea, appreciated for its dense habit and abundant flowering perfectly proportionate to its size. This variety is distinguished by its well-formed conical panicles, which are initially creamy white, then gradually take on pale pink to more sustained rosy hues at the end of the season. Its general habit is compact, rounded and slightly spreading, with a width often greater than its height, making it ideal for borders, low beds, mass plantings and container cultivation. Like all Hydrangea paniculata, ‘Dragon Baby’ flowers on new wood, ensuring reliable flowering every summer, even after harsh winters. The deciduous medium green foliage effectively highlights the flowers and maintains a beautiful appearance throughout the season. Robust, decorative and easy to integrate, it is an excellent choice for residential gardens and small-scale landscaping.
