Hydrangea Fire Light

Fire Light® Panicle Hydrangea

Fire Light Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata ‘Fire Light’) is a standout panicle hydrangea celebrated for its dramatic, season-long color transformation.

It thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts well to a variety of soil types, making it a low-maintenance and dependable performer. The plant’s lush green foliage provides a beautiful backdrop for the vibrant blooms, enhancing their color and adding texture to the garden. With excellent cold hardiness and strong bloom production, Fire Light brings bold color, reliability, and architectural presence to any landscape design.
