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 repeat flowers in warmer regions. As the flowers age, they take on a vintage look, with a combination of violet-purple and green hues.  A Hydrangea that brings pleasure wherever it is planted – containers, garden paths, or as a gift for months of summer enjoyment!
