Bring dramatic late-season color to your landscape with Hydrangea paniculata 'Vanilla Strawberry™' (Panicle Hydrangea 'Vanilla Strawberry™'). This panicle hydrangea forms large, cone-shaped flower clusters that open creamy white and gradually deepen through pink tones as the season progresses. It blooms on new wood, so you can count on flowers even after cold winters and enjoy a reliable show from summer into fall.

Give it a spot in full sun to part shade. In warmer areas, morning sun with afternoon shade helps keep the plant looking its best. Plant in moist, well-drained soil and water regularly during the first growing season; a 2-3 inch mulch layer helps hold moisture and moderates soil temperature. Once established, keep moisture even during dry spells for the fullest blooms and healthiest foliage.

For easy care, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. Remove weak or crossing branches and shorten stems as needed to shape; because it flowers on new growth, pruning encourages sturdy stems and fresh flowering wood. Use this shrub as a focal point, in mixed borders, or in a hedge line where the large blooms can be enjoyed up close.
