Lilylove - I always thought PeeGees are sun worshippers! That's why they grow into a tree (if you train it to be a tree). But then I'm in the Northeast and most hydrangeas can tolerate a lot of sun in my zone.
My PeeGees get a whole day worth of sun and they're more than 20 years old! I think they flower both on old and new wood.

The blooms are getting noticeable from the distance.

And Pastime - Yes, indeed it's always a pretty sight. The huge blooms will get too heavy for the branches and the lower branches will droop towards the ground creating a cascading or waterfall effect.
