Yuki Gessho Panicle aka Pee Gee Hydrangea

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Yuki Gessho’

NULL

Medium to large sized deciduous shrub, the structure is generally upright but with age becomes a rounded outline with branch tips semi-cascading upon flower onset. This form, as with the species, can be trained into a small tree. Medium to fast growth rate, takes pruning easily. Happiest in full sun to partial shade, with fair drought tolerance once established. The flower is similar to the species, cone shape white 6-8” long terminal panicles, pink towards the latter 1/3 of the bloom period. Born on the current year’s growth, flower size can be increased by thinning the branches. Flowering runs from July through September.

An unusual variegated form, the leaves are 3-6” long and half as wide and whorled at the branch ends. Color is medium to dark green splashed with creamy white. Elliptical in shape with serrate wavy leaf margins, oppositely attachment but whorled towards the tips. Yellow fall color but not particularly ornate.
