I bought and planted the Gatsby Pink around December 2021... . Last year, 2022, was it's first spring/ summer in my yard and no flowers ... But I DID NOT CARE... the LEAVES ARE SO GORGEOUS.... I said to myself it never has to bloom.... !!!! This year , June 2023, giant blooms are all over the Gatsby Pink... It was gorgeous without blooms last year and with blooms it's PHENOMENAL.... I'm so glad I bought a SECOND one around December 2022... It's just getting established... F.Y.I. the Gatsby Pink and Gatsby Star start to bloom the same time as smooth hydrangeas.... Early!!!!!
