First Editions® Vanilla Strawberry™ Hydrangea Shrub

Multiple Eye-Catching Colors on One Stunning Bush Hydrangea bushes are among the most robust and prolific bloomers found in gardens today, so it's no surprise that the Vanilla Strawberry™ Hydrangea was voted 'Top Plant of 2010' by the American Nursery and Landscape Association. Known for its color-changing blooms, this hardy shrub never disappoints. Around mid-summer, depending upon your region, delicate creamy white flowers emerge in generous cone-shaped clusters at the ends of sturdy red stems. As the flowers mature, they begin to turn blush in color, making their magical transformation from ivory to cotton-candy pink and then finally aging to a rich strawberry-red or maroon. Vanilla Strawberry™ Hydrangea exhibits vibrant green foliage on densely packed stems that grow upright from a central trunk, cascading in a gentle arc as they rise. This leggy shrub is a member of the paniculata family and can easily be pruned to take the shape of a lovely little tree. Vanilla Strawberry™
