Comments (13)Yes, it seems to be absent in many places. I lost one 2-3 years ago and was looking forward to getting a new one from the same place (locally) but they did not 'get' it or did not order it last year and this year. This time of the year (June-July), I would expect to see the paniculatas for sale and, while they brought VS, there was no LQ. :o(...See MoreRed-stemmed H. paniculata cultivars
Comments (14)While we touch on Zebra, I've been trialing one. It's a naturally-occurring mutation of White Ball / Schneeball (F&E White Out). Because of the black stems, it grows a bit taller, because there's something with the genetics of black stemmed hydrangea that makes for longer leaf internodes. But fair warning, it's just as prone to mildew and the blooms also won't take any direct sunlight. And while we're on macs, there some red stemmed. Besides the obvious like Lady In Red / TnS and Bloomstruck, there is Oregon Pride (sport of Merritt's) as well as a couple in the Black Steel series called Zaza and Zambia (sold in conjunction with Zebra and Zorro but not in North America). And back to paniculatas, I believe Magical/Mystical Fire and Flame may have ruddy stems. These are Plants Nouveau / Novalis entries in North America....See MoreHydrangea 'Fire & Ice' size
