'DVP Pinky', commonly sold under the trade name of PINKY-WINKY, is a cultivar that typically grows to 8’ x 8". Pinky Winky is noted for producing dense, cone-shaped, exceptionally large panicles (to 12” long) of mostly sterile, two-toned, flowers that emerge white but mature to pink. Strong stiff stems hold the flower panicles upright with no drooping. The much smaller fertile flowers are hidden beneath the showier sterile ones. Elliptic to ovate, serrate, dark green leaves (to 6” long) produce generally undistinguished, yellow to purple-tinged fall color. Panicles may be cut for fresh arrangements or for drying, or may be left on the plant where they will persist well into winter. It is a real show-stopper. This shrub will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and is best pruned in late winter (grows off of new wood).
