Beware, it does not match the photo of the pot. I received two small pieces of stems, one measuring 8 cm and the other 15 cm, with two tiny crumpled leaves on one of the stems and the other stem being broken. A bit pricey for two small pieces of wood. They are offloading online what they can't sell in garden centres! It’s a mockery of customers who order online. Almost 20 Euros plus delivery charges is outrageous! I planted the two small pieces of wood, but I should have thrown them away, as I doubt they will bloom given their condition!

Description
Hydrangea paniculata Living Pinky Promise is a recent variety of paniculate hydrangea, known for its robustness, compact habit, dark green villous leaves and particularly colourful flowers. Its inflorescences are pure white in July, turning pastel-pink in August, and ending a superb dark pink in September. After flowering, the dried inflorescences remain decorative on the bush. A tolerant shrub, it grows in any soil that is fertile, well drained and not too dry. It will be sensational as a single specimen, in a pot, but also planted en masse, in the sun or partial shade.
Hydrangea Living Pinky Promise 'LC NO12' belongs to the family of Hydrangeaceae, which includes a multitude of hydrangeas with varied colours and shapes. Paniculate hydrangeas originate from the Far East, from Japan to southern China. Their distinguishing feature is to produce in summer large conical inflorescences (panicles) on stiff or arched branches, often shaded in purple. In wild varieties, fertile white flowers (tiny and petal-less) and sterile flowers (with large, visible petals) coexist. In horticultural varieties, it is most often the sterile flowers that are developed and bring a welcome generosity. They appreciate the sun, provided it is not too scorching, or partial shade.
The Living Pinky Promise cultivar, obtained by Alex Frederick Schoemaker, was introduced in 2018 to the horticultural market. It is a compact and ramified variety that will not exceed 80 cm (31.5 in) in height for about 70-80 cm (27.6-31.5 in) in width. From June or July, the shrub produces on short, erect, solid stems, beautiful cones composed of numerous tight, fertile florets, in a white colour. As the flowering progresses, the pink colour intensifies. They then fade gradually, like paper, remaining beautiful until autumn, or later if the weather is mild. The leaves of this variety are ovate in shape, pointed at the ends, and pilous on both sides. Their colour is dark green, unusual for this type of hydrangea whose leaves are usually light green. In mid-autumn, the leaves take on yellow shades before falling.
Hydrangea paniculata Living Pinky Promise is rather accommodating: very hardy, it is content with any good, well-drained garden soil that is not too acidic or too alkaline, and it can withstand passing droughts once well rooted. Its compactness makes it suitable for small gardens, where it will make an exceptional subject on its own. In larger spaces, you can plant it en masse for a spectacular effect. It will also be perfect in a pot on a terrace or a large balcony, provided you remember to water it regularly. You can pair it with other varieties of hydrangea, such as Great Star Le Vasterival, which is larger and has larger sterile flowers, or Bobo (a dwarf variety). Other small shrubs, such as Abelia 'Pastel Charm', Berberis 'Rosy Glow', Daphne 'Pink Fragrance' or Cotinus 'Lilla', will accompany it wonderfully.

Planting and care
Hydrangea paniculata Living Pinky Promise is not too demanding about the nature of the soil, as long as it is not too heavy, dry or chalky. It requires a sunny, non-scorching exposure, in morning sun or partial shade. When planting, install it in a deeply worked soil. A good base fertiliser (horn or dried blood) will promote the recovery of your young plant and nourish it without risk of burning. If your soil tends to be dry, mix compost and leaf soil into the ground when refilling the planting hole and provide for a surface watering basin. Mulch in the summer to save on watering.
At the end of summer, we advise you not to cut the dry panicles which will protect the terminal shoots of the branches in winter; you should cut all the dry flowers at the end of February or at the first signs of good weather. The plant's spring vegetation appears rather late.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
