| QUICK FIRE® Hydrangea paniculata 'Bulk' pp#16,812 | |
|
|
A breakthrough plant, that blooms more than a month earlier than other varieties. For us it blooms in early June and turns to a rich deep pink before Pink Diamond even begins to show flowers. Breed by noted plantsman Mark Bulk, Boskoop Netherlands. When produced in a polyhouse this plant will often begin blooming in early May. |

What People are saying ... Wow. It blooms so early, its hard to believe its in the pee gee family. It blooms while the customers are still mobbing the garden centers, then the flowers turn an attractive pink. A bit slower in growth than Limelight, which can be an asset in some applications. Dave L., PA, Zone 6
