Hydrangeas Mislabeled?

[Nyboy]

I purchased 2 Hydrangea trees from home depot. Both where labeled Fireworks. I planted both in containers using same soil. One flowered much earlier then other, i didn't think much at time. Now I noticed the flower color is different. One to flower 1st has pink tint, other looks like will be white. Dont remember if first flowered white then changed to pink . Now wondering if same variety

I know label mix ups happen bad photos sorry

My Pinkie Winkie hydrangea starts out white and later turns pink. Possibly the one is just a little behind on flowering.

It looks like they just bloomed at different times.
Home Depot plants....

I wanted them to bloom at same time

Just a small change in location can effect the bloom time of any plant.Are they in containers?

The blooms on that pink one don't match the pictures I looked at for Fireworks. Those are supposedly white double star shaped blooms.

Could be there are more than one variety of hydrangeas named Fireworks. I would kind of doubt that, but it does seem to at least be mislabeled.

@Nyboy , check it out I can find both a white and a pink variety of 'Fireworks'. I suspect you have one of each.

I wanted a matched pair

Consider that now you can take cuttings of the one you want in front and also have another beautiful hydrangea. They grow pretty fast so you could have a matched set in little time.

Or consider that they look matched when not in bloom so there's a double surprise when they do flower.

Aren't trees grafted , cutting will not work then
