Growing approximately 6-8 feet tall and 5-6 feet wide, it develops a strong, upright habit with sturdy stems that hold its impressive blooms beautifully above the foliage. Flowers emerge creamy white before transitioning to blush pink and eventually deep pink to red as the season progresses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuick Fire Fab begins flowering earlier than many traditional panicle hydrangeas, providing an extended season of color from early summer into fall. Its large, densely packed flower clusters develop a distinctive full, lush appearance as they mature.
