Family Hydrangeaceae

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Lavender Candelabra’ is an original and highly ornamental shrubby hydrangea, prized for its structured blooms and refined lavender hue in late season. This variety is distinguished by its elongated, conical panicles, held upright, composed of creamy white flowers that gradually evolve into pale pink then soft lavender shades, creating an elegant and vertical effect reminiscent of a floral candelabra. Its overall habit is upright, dense, and distinctly taller than wide, making it ideal for structured beds, flowering hedges, and background plantings. Like all Hydrangea paniculata, ‘Lavender Candelabra’ flowers on new wood, ensuring reliable blooms every summer, even after harsh winters. The deciduous medium green foliage highlights the airy blossoms and extends decorative interest into autumn. Robust and distinctive, it is an excellent choice for gardens seeking height, structure, and chromatic softness.
