Hydrangea? Can it be??

Love the pink flowers that are arching at the side of the building. What is it and how did you grow it like that?

Hi Delphine! Yep, it's a hydrangea - a PeeGee (paniculata) hydrangea. They grow big, and are very tolerant of pruning into shapes. We were very fortunate to have these big established plants when we bought the house 8 years ago (there are others on the far side of the driveway), and have had to do very minimal pruning and upkeep to keep them looking gorgeous.
