Hydrangea paniculata 'Bubble Bath': Creamy Lime Blooms in a Compact, Steady Shrub

Hydrangea paniculata 'Bubble Bath' is a Bloomin’ Easy® panicle hydrangea that flowers generously, covering its compact frame in creamy lime blooms from early summer right through fall. The colour is fresh and luminous, adding a bright lift to borders without overwhelming neighbouring plants. With a sturdy, well-balanced habit, it keeps its shape through the season and looks clean and finished even in smaller spaces.

Plant Characteristics:

• Height: 2–3’
• Spread: 2–3’
• Flower Colour: Creamy lime
• Flowering Period: Early summer to fall
• Foliage: Green, deciduous shrub foliage
• Sunlight Requirements: Full Sun to Part Shade
• Soil Requirements: Moist, well-drained soil, enriched with organic matter

Uses and Benefits: Ideal for smaller gardens, front-of-border planting, and foundation beds where you want long-season bloom without a large shrub footprint. Its compact size makes it easy to repeat along walkways or use in groups for a cohesive, bright summer display. The blooms are also excellent for cutting, fresh or dried, so you can bring that creamy lime colour indoors.

Care Instructions: Water regularly during the first season to establish a strong root system, then water deeply during hot, dry stretches to support steady flowering. Prune in late winter or early spring to shape and encourage vigorous new growth, since panicle hydrangeas bloom on new wood. Mulch helps conserve moisture and keeps roots cooler in summer. A spring top-dressing of compost supports healthy growth and abundant bloom.

History: Offered under the Bloomin’ Easy® brand, Hydrangea paniculata 'Bubble Bath' was selected for its compact, sturdy habit and its prolific creamy lime blooms that carry the plant from early summer into fall.

Final Thoughts: For gardeners who want a compact hydrangea that blooms hard and stays tidy, Bubble Bath delivers a bright, long-running show that feels effortless in the landscape.
