Pink Diamond Hydrangea
Hydrangea paniculata 'Pink Diamond'

Pink Diamond Hydrangea is not a small plant, but a large shrub to 10 feet tall. In the landscape this plant should be used as a lone specimen or massed in the larger landscape where it can be viewed from a distance. White blooms appear in 12-inch long and 8-inch wide panicles in midsummer and fall; as the flower clusters age they take on a delicate pink blush. Unlike older forms of this shrub, Pink Diamond holds its blooms upright. This large shrub needs room to spread and do its thing, so site it carefully in the landscape.

Height: 10 feet.
Spread: 10 feet.
Sun: Full sun or light shade.
Hardiness: Plants are hardy throughout the state from zones 3 to 8.
Planting Season: Plant at any season.
Cultural Comments: This is a tough plant that does best in a loamy soil with moderate fertility. Once established it has good drought tolerance. It blooms on new growth so can be pruned back in the spring and will still flower that season. The large flower heads can be used in indoor arrangements in winter.
