Hydrangea, Pinky Winky

Shrubs

Pinky Winky™ resembles its parent 'Pink Diamond' in size and hardiness. The difference is in the size of foliage and flowers. Fourteen-inch blooms are the norm and each floret contains 7 petals instead of 4, nearly doubling the petal count and giving the blooms a much fuller look. Stems are also stronger and able to support the large blossoms. Would prefer morning sun. This hardy Hydrangea survives the front range winters without dying back to the ground like other hydrangea varieties.
