Hydrangea macrophylla Amazone™
Super hard bubblegum pink flowers
An exceptional Hydrangea, dainty, cup-shaped flowers form tight blooms for a lacey effect. Flowers are typically pink with a touch of green at the tips but can also be blue, depending on the pH of your soil. A great garden variety, Amazone blooms on old and new wood, promising reliable flowering farther north and often producing repeat blooms in warmer regions. As the flowers age, they take on a vintage look, with a beautiful blend of violet-purple and green hues. Their long-lasting, uniquely colored blooms also make excellent cut flowers for fresh and dried arrangements. A Hydrangea that brings pleasure wherever it is planted, whether in containers, along garden paths, in floral designs, or as a gift for months of summer enjoyment!
