Hydrangea paniculata Pink Diamond

Common Name:
Hydrangea 'Pink Diamond'

Description:
Hydrangea paniculata 'Pink Diamond' is a stunning deciduous shrub known for its large, elongated flower panicles that emerge creamy white in summer and gradually transition to soft pink before deepening into a rich rose hue in autumn. This spectacular colour change adds long-lasting interest to the garden. 'Pink Diamond' is more sun-tolerant than many other hydrangeas and thrives in well-drained, organically rich soil. It is an excellent choice for mixed borders, hedging, or as a striking specimen plant. Pruning in late winter or early spring encourages strong new growth and larger flower heads. Highly adaptable and cold-hardy, this hydrangea is perfect for Melbourne gardens, where it can handle both warm summers and cooler winters.
