Pink Beauty Hybrid Hydrangea


Pink Beauty Hybrid Hydrangea
Hydrangea 'Preziosa'
(hy-DRAIN-juh)
Synonyms: Mophead Hydrangea

The color on this Mophead was unusual to say the least. It was a very elegant pink. I have not been growing this one but it seems like it would be a classy plant to have in the garden. One garden that I supervise has about 50 Hydrangea but most are the traditional blue type but the Dwarf Pink (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Pia') we planted a couple of year ago have done fabulous. They are an interesting foil to all the blue ones.

Today I am doing something I hardly ever do and that is go to some of NYC’s outer boroughs for a few pictures. It’s going to be a public transportation type of day. Check back to see pictures of my journey.
