Description
Hydrangea paniculata 'Phantom' is one of the most impressive panicle hydrangeas, celebrated for producing extra-large cone-shaped flower heads that create a spectacular summer display. Trained as a mini standard topiary, this elegant plant forms a neat rounded crown of foliage and blooms above a clear stem, adding height and structure to patios, borders, and decorative containers.
From mid-summer through autumn, 'Phantom' produces massive creamy white flower panicles which gradually soften to subtle blush and soft pink tones as the season progresses. The large blooms contrast beautifully with the fresh green foliage, creating a bold and eye-catching feature in the garden.
Known for its strong stems and reliable flowering, Hydrangea 'Phantom' holds its large blooms upright throughout the season, providing months of ornamental interest. The mini standard form makes it ideal for patio displays, entrance planting, and formal garden designs where space may be limited.
Like other Hydrangea paniculata varieties, it is hardy, adaptable, and easy to grow, thriving in a wide range of soil conditions.
Supplied as a mini standard topiary approximately 30cm in height in a 3L pot, this compact specimen provides an instant decorative feature with beautiful seasonal flowers.
