Hydrangea paniculata Petite Star Coustar02 carries dense panicles that open lime green, turn pure white and pink, then deepen to red late in the season.
This compact, rounded deciduous shrub grows about 2 feet tall and just under 3 feet wide. Its modest size suits patio containers, low beds, courtyard gardens, and the front of a flowering border, while the blooms also work well for cutting and drying.
Grow it in full sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained soil, water regularly during establishment, and prune it back in late winter. The plant may irritate skin and is toxic if eaten, so wear gloves and keep it away from children, pets, and horses.
