Plant Information
The Pinky Winky® hydrangea is a flowering deciduous shrub that produces pink and white flower heads. You will notice it throughout the course of their blooming season, which is quite long, the flower has continued to change colours. The full name is called the hydrangea paniculata Pinky Winky which is also referred to as a panicle hydrangea.
This is a summer-flowering shrub that is easy to take care of and a fabulous starter for those who are new to gardening. Is one of the best hydrangea varieties for winter seasons because it is the hardiest. If you are looking for a long season full of stunning flowers whose colour continues to change well into fall, this is the shrub you want.
The name Pinky Winky® was given to the plant by the breeder. This breeder came from Belgium and dedicated the shrub to his son who’s a big fan of the cartoon Teletubbies and from that, the name Pinky Winky was born.
