The Vanilla Strawberry hydrangea is a popular cultivar of the Hydrangea paniculata, known for its stunning color changing blooms during the summer. Starting as pure white, the flowers transform into a pale pink and then mature into a deep strawberry red. The result is usually a bi-colored flower head with new stems of white flowers mixing in with the pinkish-red of the older stems in late summer. This fast-growing deciduous shrub prefers well-drained soil and requires full sun exposure for six to eight hours each day. It is best planted in a large hole at ground level and pruned in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. While it typically grows as a multi-stem shrub, it can also be trained to have a tree-like appearance. The Vanilla Strawberry hydrangea is a showstopper that will bring stunning color to any landscape.

The Vanilla Strawberry hydrangea is a sun-loving plant that requires at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight each day to produce an abundance of blossoms with vibrant colors. The soil should have good drainage, and while a neutral or slightly acidic pH is preferred, the hydrangea is not too fussy about soil composition. Regular watering is crucial to ensure that the plant flourishes and produces many flowers, especially during drought and hot weather. This hardy shrub can survive in temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit, but it might be more susceptible to fungal diseases in humid climates. Pruning should be done in late fall, winter, or early spring to prevent the removal of new stems that have flower buds. Propagation of this trademarked and copyrighted cultivar is not allowed, and container culture is possible but requires repotting every few years. Common pests and plant diseases can be kept at bay with proper spacing and neem oil organic insecticide. A lack of water, poor soil quality, or inadequate sunlight can hinder blooming, so regular watering and fertilizing are necessary. Drooping stems caused by heavy flowers can be prevented through adequate sunlight and pruning.
