“You may have heard that you can change the color of a hydrangea's flowers by adjusting soil pH. But there's a little more to it than that.
First of all, not all hydrangeas produce blue flowers. Hydrangeas with white or cream flowers, such as Annabelle hydrangeas, oakleaf hydrangeas and members of the PeeGee family, can only produce white or cream flowers. Sometimes their blooms take on a pink tinge at the end of the season, but that's about as colorful as they get.
Hydrangeas with bloom colors that range from pink through blue and purple usually belong to the hydrangea cultivars known as mopheads and lacecaps. These types of hydrangeas have the interesting ability to change the color of their blooms based on the chemistry of the soil. When grown in alkaline soil, the bloom colors are pinker. When grown in acidic soil, the bloom colors are bluer”.
The Pee Gee Hydrangea will grow into a medium sized tree. It's flowers are huge bright white blooms that begin to turn pink before falling. For a better look, click on the photograph. Thanks for the look and have a great week.

These are peegee hydrangeas, by the way.
Peegee Hydrangea
Hydrangea paniculata 'Grandiflora'
hy-DRAIN-jah pah-nik-yew-LAY-tah
Large, sometimes giant white flower heads reaching 6 to 18 inches long turn pinkish with age. ‘Grandiflora’ is a fast-growing shrub that can reach 25 feet tall. Hydrangea paniculata is one of the most cold-hardy species. It may be grown as a single-stemmed tree specimen or as a multi-stemmed shrub.
Noteworthy Characteristics
Flowers are good for cutting and drying. These shrubs may be used for hedging.

The south-facing side of our house is just a few feet from our neighbor's driveway, which leads into their garage. Making the most of this sunny, narrow spot, we've planted a PeeGee Hydrangea (whose large flower heads are now a dusty rose), a butterfly bush (with its long pointy flowers that have turned from their summer white to brown), and a large cluster of tall marigolds. I posted this yesterday as an ink drawing, without the color. #inktober2020 October 11, 2020
This Hydrangea paniculata 'Grandiflora' is commonly called ‘Peegee’! and its one of several types of hydrangea I have planted in our garden! Photo posted at long last and dedicated to my friend, Kennebunker!
Peegee hydrangea is a large shrub or small tree from Asia that is best grown in organically rich, moist, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. It is a vigorous grower and can reach up to 25 feet tall but can be pruned shorter to maintain a better shape. It is one of the hardiest hydrangeas and tolerates urban conditions.
The large creamy white flower panicles can be encouraged to grow even larger by pruning the shrub to 6- 10 stems. The weight of the flowers causes the stems to arch downwards as is happening to mine! I have grown to love hydrangea, but hate the practice of adding chemicals to change the colour of the flowers. These I have are completely natural and untainted by these chemicals.
This is the view from my living room doors. It was looking very beautiful in the fall when the PeeGee hydrangea standards flowers were blush pink. Now it looks best at night, when the trees are lit up and all covered with snow. The snow has melted, so it’s a little dreary. I live in Ontario, Canada, so soon it will be back to a white wonderland out there.

Hydrangea
Hydrangea (/ha?'dre?nd?i?/;[1] common names hydrangea or hortensia) is a genus of 70–75 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably Korea, China, and Japan. Most are shrubs 1 to 3 meters tall, but some are small trees, and others lianas reaching up to 30 m (98 ft) by climbing up trees. They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though the widely cultivated temperate species are all deciduous.[2]
Having been introduced to the Azores, H. macrophylla is now very common, particularly on Faial, which is known as the "blue island" due to the vast number of hydrangeas present on the island.[citation needed]
‘Hydrangea’ is derived from Greek and means ‘water vessel’, which is in reference to the shape of its seed capsules.[3] The earlier name, Hortensia, is a Latinised version of the French given name Hortense, referring to the wife of Jean-André Lepaute.[4]

Peegee Hydrangea
Even if you don't recognize this shrub's singsong name, you've likely encountered this gorgeous hydrangea in a Southern garden or two. Peegee hydrangea is a popular selection of Hydrangea paniculata, which takes the form of a shrub or a small tree. It is one of the most popular and widely grown of the panicle hydrangeas, and it is also known as ‘Grandiflora.' Peegee hydrangea is often grown as an upright tree; it can be trained to heights of up to 25 feet tall, but it is most often found growing at heights of 10 to 15 feet tall and 8 feet wide. Because of its height and spread, it is sometimes used as a hedge planting.
The foliage of peegee hydrangea is attractive, with dark green, oval leaves, each of which ends in a point and turns bronze in the autumn months. Peegee hydrangea also produces showy white blooms throughout its flowering season, which is one of the big draws in planting this particular selection of hydrangea. Big clusters of white flowers bloom out in a stunning spray, and then they fade to pink, bronze, and brown as they age.
This hydrangea thrives in full sun or partial shade with moist, well-drained soil that's attended by regular watering. It's a hardy, fast-growing planting, and it's also eye-catching when it blooms. Hydrangea paniculata blooms on new growth, so it requires some pruning in late winter. This is a great hydrangea for beginners because it's so easy to grow and is a relatively forgiving shrub in terms of care and environment.

I was hoping this would be the day we elect a woman for president. But the USA was not ready for a strong powerful woman to take charge. Apparently the USA is scared of vaginas, including people with vaginas. Sad story...

From a short story line where Harley finds an amnesiac Power Girl and convinces her that they are a crime-fighting duo. Needless to say, Harley doesn't fly or have "super-powers" per se (causing criminal levels of mischief with sass and a big-ass mallet doesn't count; it should yet it doesn't) but that didn't stop her from putting together a costume and going out on patrol with PeeGee.
Kudos to the cosplayer for doing this. It made my inner-fanboy happy. :-D
White Pee Gee Hydrangea blooms turn a bit pink as they age. Have a great weekend and thanks for the look.

Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' WW31 Panicle N4- (Zwijnenburg, NL 2001) Panicle Hydrangea, Mature plant size: 7x7ft., Flowers emerge creamy white, mature to chartreuse-lime and eventually acquire pink-darkening-to-rose tones before finally fading to beige, USDA Hardiness Zone 3-8, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW27, In Garden Bed N4 for 22 MONTHS (Lowes). Planted in 2020.
Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘Limelight’ is a slightly more compact cultivar that typically grows to 6-8’ tall and as wide. It is noted for producing large, dense, upright, cone-shaped panicles (to 8” across) of mostly sterile flowers that change color on the shrub as they mature. Flowers emerge creamy white, mature to chartreuse-lime and eventually acquire pink-darkening-to-rose tones before finally fading to beige. As the flower show fades in fall, the oval to ovate, serrate, dark green leaves (to 4” long) turn attractive shades of red. Panicles may be cut for fresh arrangements or for drying, or may be left on the plant where they will persist well into winter. U.S. Plant Patent PP12,874 issued on August 20, 2002.
Michael Dirr: Limelight’ (‘Lime Light’) is promoted as producing bright lime-green flowers, however, as I observed it at Dudley Nursery, Thomson, Georgia, the flowers simulated those of ‘Grandiflora’. Sepals are white with smaller, more uniform inflorescences; I suspect the heat of Zone 7 results in the expression of white.
Condon confirms the white color in his Nantucket,
Massachusetts, garden. Stems were weak with inflorescences, producing a weeping willow effect on the container-grown plants. Promos state flowers are fresh green in 10- to 12-inch-long, 6- to 7-inch-wide panicles, held on Limelight1 strong stems, grows 6 to 10 feet, 5 to 6 feet wide, rounded shrub, moderate grower. Hybridized by Pieter Zwijnenburg.
