Nothing can be a greater addition to your garden like the beautiful bouquets of flowering hydrangeas, and this year, a variety called the Vanilla Strawberry hydrangea is getting a lot of attention.
Hydrangeas grow all over the world but are native to Asia and America. While they are one of the popular flowering garden plants in Europe and the United States, the greatest natural diversity can be found in East Asia.
The patent further added that “its continuous flush of new flowering stems [give] an overall multicolored effect in late summer to early fall.” The other trait that sets these hydrangeas apart from existing pink varieties like “Pinky Winky” is that their flowering branches start the season growing straight up only to bend and bow as the summer ends.
The vanilla strawberry hydrangea is also known for its impressive height (growing up to 6 feet tall). Additionally, this shrub is a low maintenance plant and just soaks up the sun on its own.
The other characteristic is its flowering branches that grow into conical structures, which are the panicles that give the plants their varietal name. With the Vanilla Strawberry, these panicles, when mature, almost resemble cones of pink cotton candy from a distance.
Additionally, it’s helpful to know that the vanilla strawberry is extremely cold-hardy, making them suitable for the chilly north to the steamy south of the United States.
Meanwhile, the bloom time of these distinctive hydrangeas occurs between the months of July and September.
If you are looking to enhance the look of your garden, the Vanilla Strawberry truly is all the colors you want to add to your garden, and it is within your grasp.
