The First Editions Hydrangea Vanilla Strawberry Shrub's enormous flower heads are a blend of vanilla and strawberry, held upright on red stems. Flowers emerge creamy white in mid-summer, change to pink as the night temperatures drop and finally turn strawberry red. New blooms emerge as older blooms change color, giving the shrub a multicolored effect in late summer and early fall. The red coloring lasts at least 3-4 weeks, giving you ample time to soak in the beauty. This flowering shrub grows upright, and then cascades later in the season.
