First Editions Vanilla Strawberry Paniculata Hydrangea

First Editions® Vanilla Strawberry™ Hydrangea blooms in sweet, creamy white with a flavorful splash of pinks and red later in the season. Huge, high-piled panicles of white blooms emerge in midsummer to be held upright on strong, red stems. The flowers transition to pink as nighttime temperatures cool, finally turning to a strawberry red in the late season. As new blooms pop up on these panicles, you’ll enjoy a mix of cream and berry-red flowers on each stem. By late season, these upright plants will show off a cascade of flower heads reminiscent of strawberry-and-vanilla-swirled ice cream cones. Hardy in nearly all of the United States, Vanilla Strawberry™ Hydrangea produces enough blooms to fill your garden, your cut arrangements, and your dried displays. Butterflies and other pollinators will help themselves to these treat-like flowers, too. Hydrangea Paniculata Vanilla Strawberry™ 20670
