Description

This is the magnificent single-trunk tree-form version of the Vanilla Strawberry Panicle Hydrangea, named Top Plant by the American Nursery and Landscape Association. Since then, it has taken the gardening world by storm. It was discovered in France and is a relative of the classic PeeGee Hydrangea. It features abundant, large, 8-inch flower clusters that open creamy white aging to a rich strawberry-pink color. You’ll see both colors on the plant simultaneously, which provides a stunning bicolor effect. The flowers are held atop burgundy-bronze stems that contrast nicely with the rich green leaves and the flowers. Extremely cold hardy to -40F, and heat hardy to Zone 8, Vanilla Strawberry is an easy-to-grow beauty that will always have you looking forward to its long summer bloom.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 9 to 10 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide, Vanilla Strawberry makes an impressive focal point specimen in the landscape. It is also a nice addition to mixed flowering shrub borders, as an accent tree in home foundation plantings, or in large pots, planters, or other containers of 18 inches or more in diameter. It is a fine addition to Hydrangea gardens, cut flower gardens, and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 8 feet or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangea is exceptionally easy to grow when planted right and in the right spot. Almost any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility will do. Vanilla Strawberry can take the heat at our location here in north-central Georgia, but it also withstands even the coldest winter temperatures as far north as USDA Zone 3a, where it will also tolerate full, all-day sun. In the South, zones 7 and below, it will tolerate full sun but might appreciate filtered sun or dappled shade during summer afternoons when the sun and heat are most intense. We suggest at least 5 hours of direct sunlight daily for best flowering. Too much shade and plants become floppy with diminished flowering.

Note: Vanilla Strawberry is a Hydrangea paniculata species that produces flowers from buds formed on “new wood” (the current season’s growth). You don’t want to prune them in late spring or summer when they’re preparing to bloom.
