Hydrangea paniculata 'Phantom' 3/2022 Panicle U2-
Hydrangea paniculata 'Phantom' 3/2022 Panicle U2- (Peter Zwijnenburg Jr, Netherlands 1990) Panicle Hydrangea, Mature plant size: 10x8ft., 15in. long sterile florets emerge pale green and mature to bright white to pale pink by early fall, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW28, In Garden Bed U2 for 19 MONTHS (Meijer). Planted in 2020.
Missouri Botanical Garden: 'Phantom' features very large flower heads held on sturdy, straight stems that are not prone to flopping. The terminal, cone-shape, panicle inflorescences can reach up to 15" long and are excellent for fresh cut or dried arrangements. The sterile florets emerge pale green and mature from bright white to pale pink by early fall. Mature specimens can reach up to 10' tall with an equal spread.
Almost Eden: It's quietly whispered among those in the know that this sister seedling to the highly touted Limelight™ may actually be the better of the two, but we'll leave it up to you to decide... Huge clusters of white sterile florets are held above the rich dark green foliage on sturdy upright to arching stems in summer and change to pink and green in fall. A Royal Horticulture Society Award of Garden Merit recipient!
2020 note: good sized potted plant from Meijer in Ann Arbor (Jackson RD). Probably a 2 gallon pot. This one is somewhat taller and wider than most of the recent introductions (this is not a recent intro), so I need to plant it where is will have some room to grow. End of the season sale at 30% off. Tag indicated a height of 10-20 feet, while most web info reported 10 feet at maturety. Purchased in late August, will wait for cooler weather in September to plant. In the greenhouse with the rest of the panicle hydrangeas that get watered daily in this heat.
