Answer

First Editions® Little Hottie® Panicle Hydrangea will get 3 to 5 feet tall and wide. It takes approximately three years for most shrubs to reach their full size since they initially put all their energy into growing roots to support the above-ground growth. During these first few years you may see your hydrangea reaching the lower range of the given sizes but by year 3 and beyond Little Hottie® is likely to be both 5 feet tall and wide. So, when you choose a spot to plant it in your garden assume the upper range (five feet tall and wide) even though it won’t be that big initially.
