Puffer Fish® Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'NCHP1') – full, fluffy, and fabulous! This playful Proven Winners® variety takes the classic white hydrangea to the next level with extra-large, puffball blooms that sit atop strong stems like clouds floating on green. And just when you think the show’s over, a surprise second flush of blooms pops up from the top of the flower heads in late summer!
Puffer Fish® is a panicle hydrangea, so it’s very cold hardy (zone 3) and blooms on new wood—reliable even after tough winters. It grows to about 3–5 feet tall and wide, making it a great pick for borders, foundations, or anywhere you want full-season impact.
It thrives in full sun to part shade and needs consistent moisture, especially in hot or windy spots. The large, bright white flowers age to soft green and offer stunning contrast in mixed plantings.

Sun: Full sun to part shade
Water: Regular moisture; prefers even watering
Growth Habit: Upright, full-bodied with strong stems

Pro tip: Pair with darker foliage or colourful perennials to make those white blooms pop—and enjoy the surprise second act late in the season!
