Good question, bellarosa. I started hearing about this one several years ago when people mentioned new introductions that they had seen on the Internet or in stores but so far, I have not seen a post of anyone buying it. Maybe I missed the post. I think it is also supposed to be quite large bloomwise, no? What does your plant label say for the estimated dimensions? Most of the 'new' paniculatas have tended to be more compact.

Hi Luis,

I checked the tag and it says that the height is between 10-15 feet and the width is 5-7 feet. The tag says that the blooms are 3x times the size of regular hydrangea paniculatas. I'm hoping to plant it this weekend. I think I saw the plant in full bloom at the Chicago Botanic Trial Gardens. They have a row of different varieties and this one is very unique and beautiful.

Luis, there aren't any blooms on it yet. I'm hoping to plant it tomorrow. I'll keep you posted. It's a BIG plant, so I have to find the right spot in my yard.

I've had no luck finding this since it was introduced to North America. You can mail order 3-gallons from a few places I believe.

It's cultivar name is Levana.

I purchased mine at Menards in Woodstock, IL.
