Powerball Hydrangea is a compact deciduous shrub with a tidy mounding habit and dense flowering. These rounded flower panicles bloom through summer and open green, turns white, and ages to soft pink in fall. While can tolerate full sun, its best blooms are in part sun and rich, moist well-drained acidic soils.
