***We no longer offer this product. Create a similar look with Fire Light! Color sets Zinfin Doll panicle hydrangea apart from the rest! This versatile, compact panicle hydrangea starts out white, but its gumdrop-like blooms soon start to develop a pink color that slowly shades up the bloom for an incredible multi-color effect. Like all Proven Winners panicle hydrangeas, it was selected not just for that unique, eye-catching color, but also for its strong stems and earlier bloom time, so you can enjoy more of what makes hydrangeas so special over a much longer time than others.What makes Zinfin Doll different from other panicle hydrangeas? Very unique coloration develops early, for a longer time to enjoy it Strong stems keep the blooms upright Details: Name: Hydrangea paniculata 'SMNHPRZEP' pp#26,956, cbr#5721 Hardiness: USDA zones 3-8 Height + width: 4.5-6' Light: Full to part sun Soil: Any well-drained soil will do. Though dry conditions are unlikely to harm an established plant, prolonged drought will cause flowers to brown and wilt instead of develop a good pink color. Pruning: Blooms on new wood; prune back by one-third in late winter/early spring for better habit and a slight improvement in stem strength. Water: Average water needs. Does not tolerate wet conditions. Fertilizer: Fertilize once in early spring with a rose fertilizer if desired. Bloom time: Early-mid summer Bloom color: Flowers start white, but the lower florets soon turn dark pink, and that color continues to shade up the blooms as they age, creating a very distinctive effect. Uses: Zinfin Doll hydrangea reaches a very useful 4.5-6' height, making it eminently suitable for medium-sized hedges, landscaping, specimen planting, and adding height and form to flower and perennial gardens.
