The PeeGee Hydrangea blooms profusely from midsummer, developing huge conically shaped flower clusters that reach up to 18 in in length. The flowers start out white, and then take on a pink shade before turning beige in autumn.
Not only are the flowers strikingly beautiful, but they also harbor a delightful fragrance that is very attractive to pollinators. As cold weather approaches in the autumn, the flowering season ceases, and the leaves begin to senesce.
Each cluster consists predominantly of densely packed sterile flowers, lasting several weeks. Because of their lasting beauty, they make great cut flowers for bouquets to brighten your home or to give to loved ones.
Landscape Uses and Maintenance
It is an easy-to-grow shrub and maintains a vase-like shape without pruning. It prefers part shade to full sun locations, with ideal blooming in areas that receive at least six hours of sunlight per day.
It is a sturdy plant, and the flower clusters are easily held up during nasty weather, ensuring that your garden remains a beautiful standard regardless of the climatic conditions. For best flower production, prune in late winter by cutting the year’s growth by 12-18 in.
It prefers well-drained, neutral to acidic, loamy soils with some organic matter. Add mulch annually to help maintain moisture around this plant’s shallow roots. Soil pH will not change the color of the flower clusters as is the case with some other hydrangeas. In humid conditions, aphids, powdery mildew and spider mites can be an issue, however it tolerates cold weather and high heat conditions.
