Penny Mac Hydrangea in 3 Gal. Grower's Pot | Color Changing Blooms

The Penny Mac Hydrangea is an iconic plant with its huge, snowball-shaped flower heads that can grow up to 5 inches wide, providing a dramatic display in the garden. With a long flowering season, you can enjoy colorful flowers from summer to fall. These gorgeous hydrangeas can be used as a beautiful shrub or hedge to create a unique look, and your neighbors will be curious to find out what kind of shrub this is.

The Penny Mac hydrangea can be grown in full sun to partial shade across the USA in grow zones 5-9, and it can thrive in almost any location. Well-draining, slightly acidic soil is best, and we recommend fertilizing in early spring to help boost growth. The vanilla cream flowers slowly fade to bright pink as the temperatures rise over summer, and you can plant it in flower beds alongside roses, gardenias, daylily plants, osmanthus, lantana, spirea, jasmine, and holly bushes.

This dwarf specimen can grow up to 6-8 feet tall and 4-6 feet wide at mature height and width, and it is a true butterfly magnet. The Penny Mac hydrangea can have color-changing blooms based on the acidity of the soil, ranging from bright pink to a beautiful baby blue. It comes in a 3-gallon pot and is named after Penny McHenry, the founder of the American Hydrangea Society in 1994, who inspired the creation of this beautiful flowering shrub.

The Penny Mac hydrangea is known for its vibrant clusters of blossoms in the summer, which range in color based on soil conditions. Acidic soils tend to yield blue flowers, while alkaline soils often yield pinkish blooms. This shrub is quite cold hardy, with leaves that stay adorned on its limbs until the first frosts of winter. It is capable of growing in Hardiness zones 4-9 and thrives in partial shade and partial sunlight, but it does not do well in constant intense sunlight.

This ornamental shrub is so easy to grow and is a must-have for any garden. With its controlled growth habit and showy, vibrant flowers, the Penny Mac hydrangea is a true delight during the summer months. The best times to plant this shrub are in late fall or spring, and it is available in a 3-gallon pot. However, it does not ship to California, Arizona, or Hawaii.
