About Proven Winners® Pinky Winky® Panicle Hydrangea Bare Root Hydrangea Bush
Hydrangea paniculata ‘DVP PINKY’ PP16,166
Brand: Proven Winners® | Type: Panicle Hydrangea | Hardiness: USDA Zones 3–9
🩷 White on top, pink on the bottom and absolutely enormous—Pinky Winky® puts on one of the best two-tone shows in the hydrangea garden.
Pinky Winky® produces huge panicles that open pure white in midsummer. As the season progresses, the older flowers at the base turn rich pink while the growing tips continue producing fresh white flowers, creating spectacular pink-and-white blooms that can reach up to 16 inches long.

🩷 Two Colors on One Flower
What makes Pinky Winky® so distinctive is the way each panicle continues growing throughout the season. Older flowers turn increasingly pink from the bottom upward while new flowers remain bright white at the tip.
The result is a dramatic strawberry-and-cream effect, with both colors appearing on a single enormous bloom.
💛 Why Grace Rose Farm Loves It
This is a hydrangea that knows how to make an entrance.
At 6–8 feet tall and wide, Pinky Winky® makes a gorgeous backdrop for roses and perennial cutting gardens. We especially love those two-toned flowers for arranging—the combination of crisp white and rich pink works beautifully with blush, cream and deeper rose colors.
And because it blooms on new wood, it's a remarkably dependable flowering hydrangea even in cold climates.
🌿 Planting & Care
Plant in well-drained soil in full sun to partial sun and keep consistently moist while establishing. Once established, Pinky Winky® is adaptable to a wide range of garden soils.
Because it blooms on new wood, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. The flowers are excellent for cutting fresh or allowing to mature for dried arrangements.
