I want to add an H. paniculata to a bed that gets about 6 hrs of sun a day. My garden is sometimes on the dry side and is a loamy clay. I use a sprinkler to keep up with it but at least once a season I usually miss getting it watered in time. I have a six foot high stockade fence at the back of the bed and I want the Hydrangea to grow at least 2-3 feet above the fence as a screen. I saw a Pink Diamond at Lowe's the other day. It had the most gorgeous flowers on it I've ever seen. They were so long and huge mostly white with a touch of pink. The foliage was a really great deep deep green color and very clean. The only problem is that they tried making it a standard and it looked awful. It was not straight, the flower heads flopped and it was short. Anyone know of a paniculata that fits my space? Thanks :-)
