Overview & Description

The Vanilla Strawberry™ Hydrangea (Hydrangea pan. ‘Renhy’ PP20670) from the First Editions® collection is a show-stopping shrub renowned for its stunning, multi-coloured blooms. Its large, conical flower heads begin creamy white in mid-summer, gradually transitioning to soft, blush pink, and finally deepening to a rich strawberry-red as they mature. This captivating colour progression creates a dynamic, ever-changing display that lasts from mid-summer through fall. The strong, sturdy stems hold the large flower heads upright, preventing flopping.
