Family Hydrangeaceae

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Phantom’ is a large, shrubby hydrangea known for producing some of the most massive and spectacular panicles among paniculata varieties. This variety is distinguished by its immense, very dense conical inflorescences, which can exceed 30 cm, opening pure creamy white before subtly tinging pale pink at the end of the season. Its overall habit is strong, upright, and broad, with a wide and majestic silhouette, often as wide as it is tall, or even slightly more sprawling with age. It is particularly well-suited for large beds, informal flowering hedges, and solitary plantings where it can fully express its volume. Like all Hydrangea paniculata, ‘Phantom’ blooms on new wood, ensuring reliable flowering every summer. The deciduous medium-green foliage perfectly supports the monumental blooms and enhances their visual impact. Very robust and impressive, it is a prime choice for large gardens and landscape designs.
