Princess Diana Hydrangea – 3 Gallon Pot

---

Just when we begin thinking Hydrangea breeders can’t possibly create something new and truly different, along comes ‘Princess Diana’, a truly unique and stunning cross hybrid of Hydrangea macrophylla and Hydrangea paniculata. Blooming abundantly and repeatedly throughout summer and into fall, she displays large 6 to 8 inch diameter rounded clusters of star-shaped double flowers held on strong stems just above the compact mound of green foliage. The flower color is up to you. An alkaline soil makes pink to salmon pink shades. A neutral soil makes dark pink to purple shades, and an acid soil makes blue. Simply apply pelletized lime to turn blue to pink or Aluminum Sulfate to turn pink to blue. At 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, Princess Diana is an exquisite specimen for partially shaded smaller garden spaces and flowering shrub borders or in groupings or as a natural hedge where space allows. Also excellent in containers that can be situated on patios, decks, porches and balconies where the gorgeous flowers can be viewed from close up.

The Princess Diana Hydrangea is very easy to grow in most any average, moist but well-drained soil and sun or part shade. The plants will tolerate full sun in northern zones with cool-summer climates however appreciate some shade or filtered sun during the afternoon in warmer southern zones. We suggest at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day or all day lightly filtered sun for best flowering.  You choose the flower color. An alkaline soil produces pink to salmon-pink shades while an acid to neutral soil produces blue flowers. Learn more about soil pH and how to adjust it. Learn more about soil pH and how to adjust it

Note: Princess Diana Hydrangea is an everblooming Hydrangea macrophylla species that produces its flowers from buds formed on both new and old wood. Prune as you would an Endless Summer hydrangea.
