The PG hydrangea can grow to be 10-25 feet tall and 8-16 feet wide. It has a rounded to upright habit and is covered in dark green leaves during the growing season. In the summer, the shrub produces large, cone-shaped panicles of white flowers. The flowers age to pink over time, creating a beautiful two-toned effect.
The PG hydrangea prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It is tolerant of drought once established. The PG hydrangea can be propagated by cuttings or seeds.
To care for a PG hydrangea, water it regularly, especially during the first year after planting. Fertilize the shrub in the spring and fall with a balanced fertilizer. Prune the shrub lightly in the late winter to remove any dead or diseased branches.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
