Hydrangea Paniculata 'Pinky Winky' (Paniculate Hydrangea 'Pinky Winky') - Shrub - 3-5 (litres)

Description

The large white panicles open in mid to late summer. The flower panicles continue to grow, producing new white florets at the tip. Adaptable to most soils and both sun and shade, Pinky Winky will thrive in most gardens. To enhance flowering prune hard in early spring, cutting back the previous season’s shoots to within a few buds of the permanent, woody framework of the plant. The plant itself is hardy at H5 and only needs sheltering in extreme weather conditions. The plant is prone to potential pests and diseases so take this into consideration. Stick to the guidelines of pruning group 1 and 6 for maintaining this plant.
