Description: Gatsby Pink® Oakleaf Hydrangea starts blooming in June, producing large white upright panicles.  As the flowers age, they take on shades of pink which are attractive for a lengthy time throughout the summer.  The disease-free green foliage takes on shades of red and burgundy in the fall, and as Hydrangea Gatsby Pink® matures, the exfoliating tan bark adds winter interest. It does well in full sun to part shade, and mulch in the summer helps to keep the soil moist. As blooming occurs on old wood, prune if needed immediately after flowering.

Bloom Color/Bloom Time: Blooms from early summer through fall. Large, upright conical panicles that emerge white and quickly turn a deep, rich pink.

Wildlife Values:  This Hydrangea attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds all summer long.
