HARDY HYDRANGEA

Hydrangea paniculata may just be the plant everyone's been looking for. It's a very hardy plant (USDA zone 4) and forms its buds in early summer just before it blooms in mid-summer. The flowers which appear in July or August make great cut flowers or can be easily dried to create lovely arrangements. For extra large flowers, plants can be cut back very hard in early spring.

One of the cultivars of Hydrangea paniculata is 'Pinky Winky'.
What makes 'Pinky Winky' so special and unique is its white and pink two-toned flower heads that appear in mid-summer. The large, 16 inch long flower heads (panicles) emerge white and the flowers at the base of the panicle quickly turn pink. The flowering is indeterminate, meaning they continue to push new white flowers from the tip of the panicle while the older flowers transform to rich pink. As an added bonus the flower heads are held upright on strong stems and don’t droop. The plant also exhibits dark green foliage which makes for a nice backdrop for its beautiful flowers.

Common Name: panicle hydrangea
Type: Deciduous shrub
Family: Hydrangeaceae
Zone: 3 to 8
Height: 6 to 8 feet
Spread: 5 to 6 feet
Bloom Time: July to September
Bloom Description: Two-toned white and pink
Sun: Full sun to part shade

We just planted a bunch of these!

Easy to grow, celosias prefer humusy, nutrient rich, consistently moist, well-drained soil. The plants are heat and drought tolerant and deer and rabbit resistant. In fact, few pests or diseases bother celosias. Although celosias are low maintenance plants, deadheading regularly encourages and prolongs flowering.

Direct sow celosia seed after the last frost as soon as the soil is warm in spring, or start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost, and transplant after all threat of frost has passed. Celosias have delicate root systems that must be handled with care. Transplanting should not be delayed. Holding plugs in trays too long stunts future development and may cause premature budding.
