Growing approximately 6-8 feet tall and wide, it develops a large, upright, rounded habit with strong branches and attractive green foliage. Large, airy, cone-shaped flowers emerge creamy white in early summer before gradually transitioning to soft pink and eventually deep rosy-pink to red as the season progresses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuick Fire begins blooming several weeks earlier than many traditional panicle hydrangeas, providing an extended season of color from early summer into fall.
