Trees and shrubs

The first hydrangea paniculata of the season. PRIM'WHITE® has been selected from seedlings of Hydrangea paniculata 'Dharuma'. Flowering on the previous year's growth, the shrub is very early flowering from the end of May or June (depending on the region), this shrub produces elegant white, slightly flat flower panicles. The abundant sterile flowers have large sepals which start cream-coloured then turn white. In good conditions a second flowering prolongs its decorative interest in August - September..This small plant with fine grey-green wood, pale green foliage and very red stalks is of small growth. Well branched, it has a more regular shape and better growth characteristics than its parent plant.The different varieties of the Hydrangea paniculata range, supplied by SAPHO, go well in a shrub border together with perennials or in a pot.

Large white panicles and compact growth habit It blooms in large, pointed white panicles, reminiscent of the Andes mountains, which contrast with the plant's compact growth habit. It is a dense, regular shrub that can be planted in the garden and/or in containers for its beautiful brightness.

Bright coral - as a tree. This tree of abour 4 m high is particularly original from spring to autumn. The spring foliage is of an intense coral. It then takes on a light green tone, contasting with the bright pink to red stalks. Like with the other varieties of soap trees, they are composed and elegantly shaped. The new summer shoots are also coloured, but less flamboyant. Once the tree is well established, the long yellow grapes of flowers in July are fragrant and very melliferous. They are followed by attractive coral-rose fruit capsules. Finally the colour of the foliage turns yellow, then orange in autumn. Grown as small decorative tree or as a bushy shrub, 'Coral Sun' must be planted in a wind-sheltered spot. Trophies: Silver Medal at PLANTARIUM 2006 (Boskoop - NETHERLANDS)
