Hydrangea Firelight Tidbit® (Hydrangea paniculata 'SMHPFL' USPP 30,250, Can 5,591) is a compact panicle hydrangea that delivers stunning color transitions from creamy white to rich pink in a perfectly sized package. This Proven Winners® selection reaches just 3-4 feet tall and wide, making it ideal for small gardens, containers, and foundation plantings where traditional hydrangeas would be too large.

• Large cone-shaped flower clusters bloom white and age to rich pink
• Compact growth habit - reaches only 3-4 feet tall and wide
• Blooms on new wood - flowers reliably every year
• Deer resistant and low maintenance
• Excellent for containers and small gardens
• Strong stems hold flowers upright without flopping
• Proven Winners® selection
• Hardy in zones 3-8

Growing Conditions:
Plant Firelight Tidbit® hydrangea in full sun to partial shade in moist, well-drained soil. This adaptable shrub performs best with at least 4-6 hours of sun for maximum flowering. Water regularly during establishment and dry periods. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Blooms on new wood, so even if stems are damaged by cold winters, the plant will still flower beautifully.

Landscape Uses:
Perfect for small gardens, foundation plantings, mixed borders, container gardens, and mass plantings. Firelight Tidbit®'s compact size makes it ideal for urban gardens, patios, and anywhere you want big hydrangea blooms without the big plant. The white-to-pink color transition provides months of interest from summer through fall, and the dried flowers add winter structure.
