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!!!!!

I bought this plant from Krismer Plant Farm in the spring last year I planted it near my house in the front. This spring it started to bloom for the first time. At first beautiful white flowers bloomed all over the bush, then just about two weeks ago they began to turn pink, as the tag attached to the plant said they would. Now almost all of the blooms have turned pink. It is beautiful. I love it. I am trying to find another spot in the yard to plant another one.
