Can be pruned into a "tree" form if you so desire. Full sun to bright shade. Zones 4-8.

Cowabunga, Buffalo Bob, look at the size of the bloom on that PG! H. paniculata ’Floribunda’ -- when only the biggest will do. Full sun.

’Webb’s’ is an improved Hydrangea paniculata with mostly sterile florets selected in Huntsville, AL by J. A. Webb. It mimics H. p. ’Grandiflora in bloom but dries better than the ’Grandiflora’, and is just as easy to grow, particularly in the hot south. Full sun to light shade. To 12’ if unpruned, or can be pruned annually to keep as a shrub of about 5 feet. Zones 3-8.
