Pink Diamond Hydrangea is a large deciduous shrub with a rounded upright form and medium green foliage that turns yellow or purple-tinted in fall. The large dense panicles on red stems open white and mature to a rich pink that persists until frost attracting butterflies. While it can tolerate full sun, its best blooms are in part sun and rich, moist well-drained acidic soils.
