Hydrangea paniculata 'Moonrock': Creamy Panicles with a Lime-Lit Heart

Hydrangea paniculata 'Moonrock' is a Bloomin’ Easy® panicle hydrangea that brings bold, luminous bloom power to the summer landscape. Massive creamy flower heads open with an intense lime-green centre that holds beautifully through the season, giving each panicle a bright, modern glow. With a tidy, compact upright habit, it reads clean and intentional in the garden—perfect for designers and home gardeners who want strong flowering impact without a sprawling shrub.

Plant Characteristics:

• Height: 4–6’
• Spread: 4–6’
• Flower Colour: Creamy blooms with an intense lime-green centre
• Flowering Period: Summer (season-long display)
• Foliage: Green, deciduous shrub foliage
• Sunlight Requirements: Full Sun to Part Shade

Uses and Benefits: Use Moonrock as a focal point in mixed shrub borders, a bright anchor in foundation plantings, or in repeating groups for a crisp, contemporary look. The oversized blooms are striking from a distance and excellent for cutting, whether used fresh or dried. Its upright, compact form makes it especially useful in tighter landscapes where you still want big hydrangea presence.

Care Instructions: Plant in full sun to part shade in moist, well-drained soil and water regularly during establishment. Once settled, deep watering during prolonged heat helps maintain strong growth and full panicles. Prune in late winter or early spring to shape and encourage vigorous new shoots, as panicle hydrangeas bloom on new wood. Mulch to conserve moisture and keep roots cool, and top-dress with compost in spring for steady performance.

History: Hydrangea paniculata 'Moonrock' is offered under the Bloomin’ Easy® brand and was selected for its exceptionally large creamy panicles and distinctive lime-green centre—an eye-catching look that stays bright through the flowering season.

Final Thoughts: When you want a hydrangea that feels both bold and polished, Moonrock delivers—massive creamy blooms, a vivid lime glow, and a tidy habit that looks right at home in modern Canadian landscapes.
