Creamy white flowers predominate
Most panicle hydrangeas bloom creamy white, although the color often changes to pink as they fade. In addition, many varieties flower very late, with the dwarf hydrangea “Dharuma” being an exception. “Dharuma” shows its creamy white flowers from May to June. Due to the early flowering, this variety - an exception to the rule! - the flowers already laid out the previous year Therefore, you must not prune “Dharuma” back in spring, if necessary the shoots should be slightly shortened.
