Fire & Ice Hydrangea is a dense deciduous shrub with pointed dark green foliage that has no fall color. The conical panicles open creamy white in early summer, transition to pink by midsummer, and deepen to a rich dark red by fall. While it can tolerate full sun, its best blooms are in part sun and rich, moist well-drained acidic soils.
