Family Hydrangeaceae

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Wim’s Red’ is a shrubby hydrangea highly prized for the exceptional intensity of its autumn coloration and its naturally balanced habit. This variety stands out for its well-furnished conical panicles that open creamy white in early summer, quickly turn pink, then take on a deep, almost wine-red hue at the end of the season, one of the most sustained among the paniculata varieties. Its general habit is upright, dense, and well-branched, with a silhouette slightly taller than it is wide, making it ideal for structured beds, flowering hedges, and standalone plantings. The deciduous dark green foliage also turns purplish-red in autumn, significantly extending its ornamental interest. Like all Hydrangea paniculata, ‘Wim’s Red’ blooms on new wood, ensuring reliable and abundant flowering every summer.
