 Pinky Winky     Hydrangea 'DVPinky' pp#16,166

 

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 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.

A truly remarkable plant for the summer and autumn landscape.

This Hardy Hydrangea is truly incredible…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. It looks like the plants on steroids because it’s just blooming crazy.

An excellent choice as a specimen plant or in creating an intense flowering hedge. You can’t go wrong with this superior introduction. It blooms on new growth and the blooms are incredibly large. I bet that it makes a great cut stem as well.

Available at better Garden Centers and from Park Seed
