Experience the early beauty of Quick Fire® Hydrangea, blooming a month ahead of other panicle varieties with stunning pure white flowers that transition to dark rosy-pink in fall.
The Quick Fire Hydrangea is known for its exceptionally early and long-lasting blooming period. Unlike many other hydrangeas that flower in mid-to-late summer, the Quick Fire can begin producing its conical flower panicles as early as late spring. The blooms open up white, then gradually transition through shades of pink and finally deep red or burgundy as they mature.
This cultivar has a compact, upright growth habit, reaching around 6-8 feet tall and wide at maturity. The sturdy, burgundy-tinted stems hold the large, showy flower clusters well, making them great for cutting. The dark green foliage provides a nice contrast to the colorful blooms.
Quick Fire is a reliable rebloomer, often producing a second flush of flowers later in the season. It prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. Minimal pruning is required to maintain its tidy, symmetrical shape.
Gardeners appreciate Quick Fire's early, extended flowering season and multicolored blooms that put on an eye-catching display from spring through fall. It makes an excellent specimen plant, hedge, or mass planting in landscapes.

We try very hard to source exactly what you’d like, but sometimes growers run out of plants! While this variety is a great deal at the price shown, we know that it has limited availability. If you want the plant even if it might be more expensive, or in a different size or quantity -- after you place your order, just send us a quick note at help@northshoreplantclub.com. Then, we’ll try to get you some version of this from one of our growers. And if we can’t get it from anywhere, of course, we’ll send a refund!
Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants
Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.
Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

About Ordering From The Plant Club
To secure the best prices for club members and make sure we know the current plants available from each nursery, we take orders only a couple of times a month.
Shoot us an email at help@northshoreplantclub.com, and we'll be happy to talk about plants or let you know when it's time to buy them!
No Pricing or Availability Right Now
We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region.
It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.
Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
