Botanical namePanicle Hydrangea

Hydrangea paniculata 'Ruby Snow' is a highly decorative shrubby hydrangea, prized for its contrasting bicolour flowering and solid, well-structured habit. This variety is distinguished by its dense conical panicles, the base of which quickly turns a deep ruby red while the upper part remains creamy white, creating a striking and elegant two-tone effect. Its overall habit is compact to intermediate, upright and well-branched, with a silhouette slightly taller than wide, making it ideal for structured beds, low flowering hedges and specimen planting. Like all Hydrangea paniculata, 'Ruby Snow' flowers on new wood, ensuring reliable and abundant blooms every summer, even after harsh winters. The deciduous medium green foliage strongly highlights the floral contrast and maintains a beautiful appearance throughout the season. Robust and original, it is an excellent choice for northern gardens seeking a distinctive visual impact.
