🔥🔥🔥Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangea🌺

Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangea is a gorgeous flowering shrub loved for its giant 10-inch blooms, year-round interest, and cold hardy nature.

The bodacious blooms appear in mid-summer as a creamy white. The color show does not stop there though. The white flowers turn pink before changing to a dark strawberry rose color!

All three color stages can be seen on Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangea at any given time, creating a multi-color effect that is almost surreal. Conical full blooms reach 8-12 inches in length and each massive bloom is made up of hundreds of individual flowers.

Ideal conditions for this panicle Hydrangea include full sun and well-drained soils. Growing in hardiness zones 4-8, this plant is ultra-cold hardy, yet also thrives in the brutal summer heat.

We would recommend mulching in early fall to protect the root ball from harsh winter effects. Additionally, pruning in late winter is a common practice for optimal blooms.

This sweet Vanilla Hydrangea hybrid is not only beautiful and easy to grow but also attracts an array of pollinators to your yard. Additionally, create elegant home décor with this flowering shrub's clippings. Plant this eye-catching shrub anywhere in your garden for instant curb appeal.

HOW TO GROW

The Strawberry Sundae Hydrangea will grow in any well-drained soil that is not too dry. It will grow well in both full sun and light partial shade – in hotter zones afternoon shade is beneficial. It is relatively drought-resistant, but regular watering during dry weather is recommended. It has no pests or diseases, and the only care needed is a simple spring pruning. The more you cut it back at that time, the larger the flower heads will be, but lighter pruning gives you more flowers – the balance is up to you.
