There are 70-75 species of hydrangeas, a flowering plant native to southern and eastern Asia, and the Americas. Various species bloom in different colors, including blue, red, pink, and purple, and there are even methods to adjust the color of the blooms.

Our July plant spotlight, the Little Quick Fire hydrangea, is a variety native to China and Japan, and produces white blooms that turn pink in late summer.

Due to its small size, the Little Quick Fire hydrangea, a dwarf form of the Quick Fire hydrangea, can fit into almost any landscape in a mixed border or foundation plant. Due to its early blooming cycle, about a month before other hydrangeas, you’ll enjoy an extended flowering season.

Hydrangeas do best if planted in the spring or fall. If planting your hydrangea this summer, give it extra water so it can establish a firm root system.
