Type

Family

Hydrangeaceae

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Fire and Ice’ is a highly decorative shrub hydrangea, valued for the strong contrast between its luminous blooms and richly colored foliage. This variety is distinguished by its dense, conical panicles, which open creamy white and then take on pinkish hues at the end of the season, while the dark green foliage evolves into shades of purple, red, and burgundy from late summer onwards. Its overall habit is compact, upright, and well-branched, with a silhouette slightly taller than wide, ideal for structured beds, decorative low hedges, and specimen plantings. Like all Hydrangea paniculata, ‘Fire and Ice’ blooms on new wood, guaranteeing reliable flowering even after harsh winters. Its dual ornamental interest, in summer and autumn, makes it an excellent choice for Nordic and contemporary gardens.
