Hydrangea, PINKY WINKY™

A real winner, this new Hydrangea from Belgium has indeterminate flowers. This means that the flower heads keep sending up new white flowers from the tip even while the older blooms at the base are turning a deep pink. The effect is a beautiful two toned flower unique to this plant alone.

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 drooping look like Pee Gee Hydrangea. The flower 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.

Hydrangea, Invincibelle® Spirit

The first pink flowered mophead Hydrangea arborescens! Invincibelle Spirit is as hardy and adaptable as ‘Annabelle’ but produces loads of hot pink flowers from early summer to frost. It’s a reliable bloomer in the north and is also heat tolerant.   Rich pink flowers bloom from early summer to frost. Prune back in spring. Very hardy. Native.

Not only is this hydrangea pink, but it is BRIGHT pink. The blooms of ‘Invincibelle Spirit’ are a little smaller than ‘Annabelle’ blooms, but this may be an advantage since they will be less likely to droop after a rain. This remarkable hydrangea was developed by Dr. Tom Ranney at North Carolina State University’s Mountain Horticultural Crops Research Station.

Exposure:  Plant in sun or partial shade
