Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata ‘Renhy’)
Right away you think of scoops of ice cream — big scoops of vanilla piled high on an upright, vase-shaped shrub, growing 6-7 feet tall by 4-5 feet wide. Early on, blossoms turn strawberry pink then mature strawberry red. You’ll have a very showy hydrangea!
