Hydrangea paniculata ‘Vanille Fraise’ Description

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Vanille Fraise’, also known as Vanilla Fraise or Vanilla Strawberry, forms a substantial upright deciduous shrub with large conical flower panicles. Blooms open creamy vanilla-white in midsummer, gradually become strawberry pink and can deepen towards rich rose or reddish tones by autumn. Because colour changes begin at the base, individual panicles frequently display white and pink together. Mature plants generally reach around 1.5 to 2 metres high and wide. Grow in full sun or partial shade in fertile soil that remains consistently moist but drains freely. It is fully hardy and very reliable in Irish gardens. Flowers develop on new wood, so prune in late winter or early spring. Moderate pruning encourages sturdy stems capable of supporting the large, rain-heavy panicles.
