It’s not hard to see how Pinky Winky got its name. This stunning hydrangea has large, sturdy panicles that move from bright white to beautiful pink with the changing seasons. Starting out white in mid to late summer, they deepen into pink in the fall and as the panicles grow they then develop new white at the tip. With panicles that can grow up to 16 inches, this makes for a dramatic show of color in your garden! Better yet, the Pinky Winky is adaptable to most soils and flourishes in both sun and shade, making it very easy to grow.
