Frequently asked questions
Is it deer resistant?
While not deer-proof, panicle hydrangeas tend to be less palatable to deer than many other varieties.
Will this survive my winters in [Zone X]?
If you're in zones 3–8, Puffer Fish® is a reliable perennial that thrives year after year—even in cold climates.
Does Puffer Fish® change color like some other hydrangeas?
No, Puffer Fish® maintains a clean white bloom that turns a soft green as it ages. It’s not affected by soil pH like bigleaf hydrangeas.
How fast does it grow?
Puffer Fish® is a moderate grower. With proper care, it will reach its full size of 3–5 feet in just a couple of seasons.
Can I grow it in a container?
Yes! Its compact size and upright habit make it perfect for large patio pots. Just make sure the container has good drainage and room for root growth.
How do I prune it?
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove old flower heads and any crossing or weak branches to encourage strong blooms.
