Hydrangea paniculata Moonrock™
Chartreuse, cone-shaped flowers
Moonrock is an exciting introduction in Van Belle Nursery's hip new Bloomin' Easy®️ program. Selected for its unique transformation of color, creamy white blooms emerge with an intense lime-green center, unlike any in its class. Upright, sturdy stems and its mid-size habit make Moonrock ideal for large patio containers and mixed borders. And… as Van Belle says, “because its so low maintenance, you’ll have time to chill out and enjoy the view.”
This plant is sold exclusively through the Bloomin Easy® brand.

Pruning
No matter where you live, Hydrangea paniculatas can be pruned pretty heavily to keep them small, bushy and full of flowers. In spring, cut them back to half the size of the original plant to encourage branching and more flowers.
