Super Showy Blooms First Editions® Vanilla Strawberry™ Hydrangea
 
Try a miraculous First Editions® Vanilla Strawberry™ Panicle Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Renhy') in your landscape. You'll be so pleased with its playful, strawberry-pink blooms and graceful nature. You'll want more than one!
 
The show begins in spring with green leaves filling out the stems that later turn a lovely red shade. Mid to late summer brings on a fabulous display of full blooms.
Watch as your flowers do a color change during the season for you. The large panicles - comprised of densely-clustered, tiny flowers - begin creamy white in mid-summer and slowly turn pink.
 
The white flowers pick up pink color as the blooms age, and it is intensified with cooler nights and warm days in sunnier locations. As summer progresses, you'll be treated to a mixture of floral colors on the same plant as white turns to white with pink centers, to deeper strawberry red. Fantastic!
Cut some of the stunning Strawberry Vanilla Hydrangea blooms to enjoy indoors, or leave on your plant for winter. The flowers will cling to the stems in early fall (drying to a pale, silvery tan), and persist as a decorative feature through the winter months.
 
Vanilla Strawberry Panicle Hydrangea was named the top plant by the American Nursery and Landscape Association. A relative of the classic PeeGee Hydrangea, Vanilla Strawberry has improved features that make it a must-have for your garden.
 
You'll also be popular with hummingbirds and butterflies that contribute to the beauty of your yard.
It has strong, sturdy upright stems that won't droop under the weight of its impressive blooms. And its rich, green foliage creates the perfect backdrop for its summertime display of blooms.
