Family Hydrangeaceae

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Polar Ball’ is a compact and very decorative shrub hydrangea, appreciated for the perfectly spherical shape of its inflorescences and its neat habit. This variety is distinguished by its short and very dense panicles, composed mainly of pure creamy white sterile flowers, giving a clean and structured ball effect unique among paniculata hydrangeas. Its overall habit is compact, dense, and slightly wider than tall, forming a regular silhouette ideal for foreground beds, structured borders, and container cultivation. Like all Hydrangea paniculata, ‘Polar Ball’ flowers on new wood, ensuring reliable blooming every summer even after harsh winters. The medium green deciduous foliage strongly enhances the very graphic flowering and retains a beautiful appearance throughout the season. Original, robust, and easy to integrate, it is an excellent choice for contemporary and residential gardens.
