'Phantom' Hydrangea paniculata


This hydrangea was first given to me by the great Don Shadow.  Don Shadow is a name that is recognizable to many nurserymen around the world.  Most noted for his work with dogwoods, Don also loves hydrangeas.  This hydrangea blooms on new wood, so no need to worry if a late frost will damage the buds.  Mine has been in a bed at my mothers house and stands around 9 feet tall, which makes it a show stopper at the end of summer!  'Phantom' is touted as the largest of the panicle blooms, and the verdict still remains in my book!
