Pee Gee Hydrangea is a large, vigorous panicle hydrangea known for its impressive cone-shaped clusters of creamy white flowers. The blooms appear in midsummer and gradually develop soft pink to purplish-pink tones as they age, providing color into fall. This dependable hydrangea can be grown as a large shrub or trained into a small tree form. Its dramatic size and long-lasting flowers make it an excellent choice for specimen plantings, flowering screens, large borders, and cut-flower gardens.

Notes
Pee Gee Hydrangea blooms on new wood, so it can be pruned in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. It tolerates more sunlight than many other hydrangeas, although regular moisture is especially important during hot Southern summers. Its mature size can be substantial, so plant it where it has plenty of room to grow. Pee Gee Hydrangea may be maintained as a large shrub or trained into a single-trunk tree form.
