Hydrangea Vanilla Strawberry® Description
The big, cone-shaped blooms of Vanilla Strawberry hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata) emerge a creamy white in mid-summer. As the season progresses and temperatures cool, they begin to take on pink tones, eventually changing to deep rose.
This hydrangea is very hardy, thriving from the chilly North to the steamy South. It makes a very nice cut flower, either fresh or dried.
Long-blooming Vanilla Strawberry™ makes a superb companion to the drought-proof ornamental grasses, late-blooming sedums, and Knock Out roses.

Light: Most varieties tolerate full sun in the North, but benefit from afternoon shade. Tolerates full sun only if grown with consistent moisture. In the South, plants require afternoon shade. Intolerant of drought, with foliage tending to decline considerably in dry conditions
Water: Water to keep soil moist, but not wet.
Spacing: 5 - 6 ft.
Fertilizing: Fertilize once in spring with a fertilizer designed to encourage blooms (such as 15-30-15).
Winterizing: Remove and destroy any fallen foliage that was infected by powdery mildew.
Maintenance & pruning: Little pruning is needed beyond removing any dead wood whenever seen. If desired, plants can be cut back as needed in early spring. Blooms on new wood.Reviews
Write a reviewDelivery of plantsMarie Carroll | Apr 17, 2020I just received my plants. They had broken branches on both of them and much smaller plants than I would of thought especially for the price. Fingers crossed they grow.Owner Response: Hello Marie - I am sure you will be surprised how fast they grow! Make sure to use a nice slow release fertilizer. I noted your concerns in your order and extended your warranty to an additional 30 days to 6/20/2020. Please let us know how they are doing by that time. - Management
VANILLA STRAWBERRY HYDRANGEALesleigh Graham | May 25, 2018I ordered 3 Hydrangea's on line because I was having a hard time finding Vanilla Strawberry in a store. I didn't read the shipping costs so was surprised because I thought it was very expensive (my fault because I didn't read in enough detail) . However, the plants arrived and were A+++ condition. Extremely healthy and vigorous. I'm very happy with the service & the hydrangea's.
Thank YouAlice K | May 15, 2017I received my order of hydrangeas and just wanted to thank you. They arrived when you said they would and were packaged so well that all were in great shape. Thank you and I look forward to ordering more of your plants in the future!
