| Posted by BookerC1 (Mackinaw, IL - Zone 5a) on Aug 25, 2014 3:07 PM Pinky Winky is a beautiful paniculata hydrangea. It will attain 6-8 feet in height when fully mature, with strong branches. Mine needed very little pruning or shaping and attained full size in about 2 years. This is a very easy-care plant. All I do is deadhead the faded blooms, either after the first freeze, or in the spring if I leave the blooms for winter interest. The cone-shaped blooms begin to open at the lower point, where widest, a pure, bright white. As the blossoms continue to open up the length of the cone, the lower blossoms begin turning pink . Eventually, once all the blooms are open, you may have white tips, blending into pink flowers in the center, and dark rose flowers at the base of each pannicle . I get a lot of compliments and questions about this lovely hydrangea, as very few people seem to be familiar with the cone-shaped hydrangeas. I find this to be one of my easiest and most attractive hydrangeas, out of 7 or 8 varieties. [ Reply to this comment | |
