Little Hottie Hydrangea is a well-branched compact deciduous shrub with strong stems and serrated green foliage with no fall color. Its full-sized, tightly packed conical panicles open green and mature to white, then acquire soft pink tones as it fades. The flowers bloom all summer and are very attractive to butterflies. While can tolerate full sun, its best blooms are in part sun and rich, moist well-drained acidic soils. Little Hottie is notably heat tolerant and the flowers do not turn brown due to heat-stress.
