Like its namesake, she's a vigorous superachiever, blooming on both old and new growth. It's both an early and repeat bloomer, with 7" blue mophead-type flowers until frost.
Hydrangea lovers in cold climates rejoice! 'Penny Mac' is a fitting memorial to Penny McHenry, the founder of the American Hydrangea Society. Like its namesake, she's a vigorous superachiever, blooming on both old and new growth. It's both an early and repeat bloomer, with 7" blue mophead-type flowers until frost. Soil pH affects the flower color (blue in highly acidic soils and lilac to pink in slightly acidic to alkaline soils). Add aluminum sulfate to the soil to make the flowers bluer or add lime to the soil to make the flowers pinker. Colorful fall foliage is a mix of purple, burgundy and dark green. Penny McHenry would be pleased!
