Hydrangeaceae

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Passionate’ is a very decorative shrub hydrangea, valued for the rapid and sustained intensity of its floral coloration as well as its well-balanced habit. This variety stands out for its large, dense conical panicles, which open creamy white before quickly turning bright pink and then to marked rosy-red tones at the end of the season. Its overall habit is compact to intermediate, upright and well-branched, with a silhouette slightly taller than wide, ideal for structured beds, flowering hedges, and standalone plantings. Like all Hydrangea paniculata, ‘Passionate’ blooms on new wood, ensuring reliable and abundant flowering every summer, even after harsh winters. The deciduous medium green foliage effectively highlights the spectacular evolution of colors and maintains a beautiful appearance until autumn. Very ornamental and robust, it integrates perfectly into residential gardens as well as landscape designs.
