First Editions® Vanilla Strawberry™ Hydrangea – Tree Form

First Editions® Vanilla Strawberry™ Hydrangea is a stunning tree-form hydrangea that brings exceptional summer and fall color to smaller landscapes and urban gardens. Its enormous flower panicles are held upright on striking red stems and create a beautiful multicolored display as they transition from creamy white in mid-summer to soft pink and finally to rich strawberry red.

New blooms continue to emerge as older flowers change color, creating a unique blend of vanilla, pink, and strawberry-red blooms in late summer and early fall. The vibrant red color can persist for 3–4 weeks, providing an extended season of interest.

Introduced by Bailey Nurseries, this compact tree form is an excellent choice for patios, entryways, gardens, and other locations where a small ornamental tree is desired.
