This deciduous shrub boasts an upright, spreading habit, reaching a mature height of 6-8 feet with a spread of 5-6 feet. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 3-8 and prefers moderate temperatures, making it ideal for temperate climates. Known for its unique two-tone flower display, it produces large cone-shaped panicles of creamy white blooms that transition to deep pink as the season progresses, providing a stunning show from midsummer through fall. Though it does not offer notable fall foliage color, its striking blooms are the highlight of its growing season. This hydrangea performs best in rich, well-drained soils with consistent moisture and benefits from partial sun to full sun exposure. It is deer-resistant, making it a wonderful choice for gardens prone to browsing wildlife. "Pinky Winky"® is perfect as a specimen plant, in borders, or as part of a mixed planting, where its upright form and showy flowers can take center stage.
