With a commanding presence in the summer and fall garden, White Diamonds® is an exceptional compact hydrangea with glistening white panicles that are held upright and eventually fade to parchment and pink. Smaller and more manageable than most H. paniculata, White Diamonds® boasts dark green leathery foliage that displays increased heat and drought tolerance. Use as an anchor in the mixed border, plant as a hedge, or in a large grouping for a magnificent effect. Bred by Dr. Michael Dirr at the University of Georgia.
