Plant of the Month: Pinky Winky Hydrangea
The Pinky Winky Hydrangea is a very unique new hardy hydrangea with massive two-toned, white and pink flowers. Strong upright red stems hold the large blooms up so you never get the dropping look you get from Pee Gee Hydrangea. The blooms are 12–16 inches long and cover the plant completely. It blooms regardless of climate, soil, pH or pruning. The blooms are the largest that we have ever seen.
The flowers heads continue to grow throughout the season and as the older flowers turn dark pink the new flowers continue to emerge white. The effect is stunning.
Pinky Winky is an excellent choice as a specimen plant or in creating an intense flowering hedge. It grows 6-8 ft. high and equally wide. This is a truly remarkable plant for the summer and autumn landscape.
