Our plant experts take great pride in carefully developing the First Editions® Vanilla Strawberry™ Tree Form Panicle Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Renhy' PP 20,670). They'll deliver a huge floral display that lasts for months.
Artistically pruned for three years, Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangea truly becomes a living work of art.
You'll enjoy big white blooms that start turning pink in the center, and spread across the bloom into finally developing a memorable shade of strawberry red. Cooler weather starts the color show!
This plant is an award-winning Hydrangea variety that has been trained into a unique tree-like shape (tree form). Plant them in the ground, or use them in patio pots for an enchanting presentation near your pool or backyard grill.
These lush, tiny trees look terrific decorating courtyards, entrances and high-profile areas. Use one or two as an ornamental tree by your home's entrance for instant curb appeal.
A Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangea is the type of plant that causes passers-by to catch their breath, and when in tree form. . .well, it's simply astounding!
These vibrant plants burst into a July bloom of 7-inch panicles. Each panicle is composed of delicate, creamy-white flowers.
The tree has a sweetly cascading habit as the numerous flowers grow large, held on their red-tinted stems. Give it plenty of room to impress you and your guests with its lyrically downturned branches.
As the season progresses, your late summer flowers will take on a multicolored effect as the new flowers bloom alongside the old. You simply can't understand the full stunning nature of this remarkable Panicle Hydrangea tree until you've seen it for yourself!
In some years, you'll keep seeing new white blooms on your tree at the same time as the more highly colored blooms. Each year is a bit different—depending on the weather—and you'll never grow tired of these living sculptures.
The red coloration lasts for several weeks in late summer and early fall. You'll love this tree all year long, but it truly shines in fall.
Now...it may take a year or two for your tree to mature into this outstanding pigmentation. It's worth the wait!
Cut armloads of these big, beautiful blooms to bring indoors for cunning cut flower arrangements. It's easy to create a professional-looking bouquet with these sturdy red stems.
Contrast with a few boughs of the green foliage as a filler. Remove the water from your vase and let the blooms air dry for a lovely indoor display.
Some people use them as holiday decoration. They'll spray paint the dried blooms and add them to door wreaths and tablescapes.
Be sure to leave the last blooms to dry on the tree to a beautiful buff color. You'll get an added boost of winter interest.
