Building on the success of the original Pinky Winky®, this improved variety boasts bigger, bolder blooms in a richer shade of pink, along with enhanced cold hardiness. Gardeners in as low as zone 3 can now enjoy the stunning display of this reliable hydrangea. Its blooms open a captivating white, then gracefully transition to a hot pink hue that intensifies as the summer progresses. Unlike bigleaf hydrangeas, whose blooms can be affected by soil pH, Pinky Winky Prime® displays its stunning pink tones regardless of your soil's acidity or alkalinity.
