Hydrangea Bonfire

Hydrangea ‘Bonfire’ is a colourful and hardy panicle hydrangea that adds beauty and structure to any garden. The flowers start as pale green buds, open to creamy white, and then change through soft pink and coral shades before turning a deep red-pink as summer goes on.

The strong, upright stems hold the large flower heads above fresh green leaves, creating a striking display from July to September and often into autumn.

Sold as a bare-root shrub, ‘Bonfire’ is long-lasting and easy to grow. Once planted and settled, it can tolerate very cold temperatures (down to –30 °C) and forms a neat, rounded shape — perfect for borders, beds, or large pots.

Whether you want a feature plant, something to brighten your patio, or flowers for cutting and drying, ‘Bonfire’ gives impressive results with little effort.
