Description
First Editions® Little Hottie® Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Bailpanone' PP32,549) is covered in big white fluffy blooms all summer! A florist and a butterflies dream, these big clusters of florets emerge green and open into pure sparkling white. They smother the round ball of greenery for you to enjoy until fall when they turn tan and dry on the stems.
This well-branched, compact panicle Hydrangea is covered in large blooms from the bottom to the top of the plant and holds tight flower clusters out on strong stems. With natural basal branching, this new introduction doesn't need much pruning in production or the landscape to grow into a well-shaped plant with strong stems!
Little Hottie® Hydrangea is very cold tolerant! Hardy down to zone 3 and up to zone 8, these adaptable shrubs maintain a midsized rounded form that’s 3 - 5 feet in height and width. However, bred in Georgia for heat tolerance, Little Hottie® performs equally well in Minnesota! The flowers don't get heat-stressed or turn brown in excessive heat.
Planting and Application:
Little Hottie® is a perfect mid-sized hedge that light up the landscape with their long bloom time and lush greenery! For gorgeous property definition that won’t shrink in the heat, plant rows or banks of Hydrangea along your home's foundation, driveways and side yard for a classic curb appeal effect!
Anchor and accent mixed borders, or use as a fantastic backdrop to your perennial borders, these are traditional additions for updated Cottage borders and cutting gardens! Bring armloads of blooms indoors for your bouquets, or let them dry on the plant for dried décor or winter interest!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Hydrangea care is easy and these are low-maintenance flowering shrubs. Preferring full sun for more numerous blooms and stronger stems, however those shrubs planted in hotter growing zones appreciate afternoon shade for relief from the afternoon sun and heat. Provide consistent moisture for best results and mulch the root zone well.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Mulched Beds for Moisture Retention
- Average Consistent Moisture Needs
- Organically Enriched Well-Drained, Moist Soil
- Prune in Early Spring, Before New Growth Starts

Nature Hills Nursery shipped 2 Tidbit Panicle Hydrangeas to my home in the same container. One arrived in good condition and the other was essentially dead. I have planted the good Hydrangea, and it seems to be doing well in my garden. I recommend different packaging when shipping 2 plants together. Both plants should have their base pot on the same side of the container with verbiage on the box stating, "This Side Up". The 1 that did not make it was planted with the base pot facing the opposite direction of the other plant. When the box got turned "upside down" in relation to the Hydrangea that arrived in good condition, some of the moist soil in the "bad" plant apparently fell out.
First of all, the communication with this company has to be the worse I've ever experienced, it took almost 3 months before I got the oakleaf hydrangea( I emailed this company several times regarding the shipping info with no response) not to mention that I ordered a red slipper but got a alice white hydrangea (they charged me for a red slipper tho)
Upon arrival, this plant was in terrible shape, broken new growth, torn leaves and not enough soil around its roots, the box it came in looked like it had been kicked around. Now that the hydrangea has been planted and being cared for it looks much better.
Unfortunately!!!
I won't be ordering from this company ever again
Terrible quality Azure Skies Hydrangeas. I ordered #3 pots and they took 3 smaller plants, bundled them together and shoved them into a #3. When you plant them the root systems are not even established so they literally fall apart. As you can see from the photos they are terrible quality. Avoid avoid avoid and go support your local nursery instead.
I ordered two of these plants. I received one, dying little plant. Emails have gone unanswered. If you call, you get their voicemail and no one will call you back. The website says “use our live chat”, but that does not exist. I got scammed by this company.
Arrived in great condition! Did go through a small
Shock and lost a leaf or two but bounced right back. Doing good!
Disappointed in this one. It looked less than healthy when received, dead leaves in the box and some were deformed and spotty. As a new gardener I thought it was just in shock from travel and planted right away. Watered often and kept removing the damaged leaves. Today I noticed fine webs on the underside, suspect spider mites. Removed bad leaves again and washed the plant. Hoping it survives. Bought 3 different shrubs, this was the largest and most costly unfortunately. Satisfied with my other plants
I Loved these! I had a pink Victorian home so wanted the White Annabelle Hydrangeas. - After a couple years they were so full and beautiful year after year. They recommended the Root booster for about $15 and added that as well. You will not regret buying these. Beautiful year after year!
Arrived in great condition and seem very happy in the ground. Two weeks in and doing great.
Plant arrived dead. I’ve reached out multiple ways email, chat support, social media(they deleted my comment) it’s been over a week now so might as well just take this as a loss and never order from this company ever again. Google the reviews. Search Facebook. Plenty of negative reviews saying this is a scam. I should have done more research on this company.
My plant came in pretty much dead
Dried leafs and broken stems
They're vigorously growing. Dark green leaves and flowers are popping up. Couldn't be happier.
Very first time planting this flower, coming from Houston Texas. I was a little nervous since these plants require a lot of care and water but she has been doing so well!!! I water her twice. Early morning before work (6am) and after sun down (after 7pm). I placed some mulch on the pot so that has been helpful at keeping the soil moist. I was really afraid of drowning her or giving too much water mostly in the early afternoon where the sun was starting to burn through leaves due to me giving it water at 5pm. Shes blossoming beautifully and cannot wait until shes fully open. I also recently purchased her back at the beginning/mid May. Very fast shipping too!

Beautiful great quality ..
Beautiful, healthy plant received. Great packaging. Will definitely purchase from Nature Hills again.
I received 2 of the #2 pots. Love, love, love these Summer Crush Bigleaf Hydrangeas! So well packaged and so healthy!
Plant arrived quickly and in good condition. It’s doing well in the ground.
Annabelle arrived a bit dehydrated and that worried me. So I pampered her with water, light shade and clipped any leaves that were concerning. After a week or so, she perked up and now has a lot of good new growth. I am glad I treated the hydrangea with patience because that was all it really needed.
My hydrangea is growing great so far.
Beautiful plants - healthy - one looked like it was not gonna make it but it revived nicely
Hydrangeas had a little trouble adapting but seem to be doing fine now
It's alive and growing, and extremely thirsty for gallons of water. Mine is a #3 size shrub, tall enough to have a noticeable "front" and "back." The front has a fuller look, more flowering branches, and the back has taller branches at the top and more spindly stems down the side. Probably from its orientation at the nursery. I planted it back to front before I noticed this growing pattern, but I expect after a year or two with pruning, the shape will even out. It already attracts pollinators to the pretty flowers. I've seen tiny native bees and honeybees checking it out, so we're good to go!
I was thrilled to find original Quick Fire for sale, because Proven Winners discontinued that variety several years ago. The plant is doing great, but I'm reserving judgement until I see that it is original Quick Fire and not one of the derivative varieties. I have all my documents just in case...
I'm very happy with my plants
I received these hydrangeas in great condition and look forward to seeing their beautiful blooms.
Came well packaged. Planted a couple of weeks ago and looking healthy but no new growth yet. High hopes for next year
