These also do great in garden planters due to their compact size and drought tolerant attributes. If you would like to create a landscape border or small hedge, plant these 28 to 36 inches apart, center on center. Plant Little Quick Fire Hydrangeas 3 to 5 feet apart, center on center. It does best with at least 6 hours of sunlight, but prefers to have some afternoon shade, especially in warmer climates, like zones 7 and 8. The shrub is drought tolerant, and can be adaptable to different conditions though. These prefer to be in a location with well-drained soil, to help prevent against root rot. To fertilize, use a slow release fertilizer designed for woody plant material, like a rose or tree fertilizer. Never trim more than a ⅓ of the length of the branch. These shrubs bloom on new wood, so that ensure the hydrangea blooms every year, regardless of how harsh winter conditions are.
Prune Little Quick Fire hydrangeas in late winter or early spring. These bushes are also drought tolerant, which is an added benefit to dry locations or if you choose to grow these in garden planters. These are great for flower gardens, borders and in planters. These are one of our best selling hydrangeas because the dwarf shrubs are so versatile. The early bloom time extends the blooming season of any landscape! The panicle shaped flowers start off white, and turn to pink and red as summer goes by, and into fall. This shrub (like the larger Quick Fire Hydrangea) are one of the first hydrangeas to bloom, often a month before other hydrangeas typically bloom. If you have a bare spot in your garden bed, and need something to fill in but not be a focal point, this plant might fit the bill.The Little Quick Fire® Hydrangea lives up to it’s name. I live near the Washington State border and am in a 6 zone, with typical Pacific Northwest weather patterns. This plant does like frequent watering (my soil dries out quickly) and a spring slow release fertilizer is a good idea. My more established plant gets solid morning sun and seems happy with that the newer plant I put in last year is getting noon to mid-afternoon sun and isn't as happy, so I will probably move it. The flowers seem to be a cross of lace-cap and panicle - not really strong in either category. Overall, this seems to be relatively hardy plant but be aware it's quite twiggy - a quick clean up is all that is needed. I really like the initial creamy white flowers but am not too excited about the duller pinkish hue. These flowers do not deliver a focal point appeal with intense colors, but offer more of an overall blending. I'm happy with the size, but the flowers are verging on being just ok. I don't have room for a large, showier snowball and I was drawn to "Little Quick Fire" with the white flowers turning pink as summer progresses. My first one was planted 4 years ago as I wanted a smaller, dwarf hydrangea with white flowers. I have 2 of these purchased from a local, independent garden center.
