Description
Hydrangea paniculata ‘Vanille Fraise’ is one of the most striking and widely loved paniculata hydrangeas, renowned for its spectacular colour-changing flower heads. Blooming from mid-summer through to autumn, the large cone-shaped blooms open creamy white before gradually flushing pink and deepening to rich strawberry-red tones, creating a stunning two-tone effect.
With its strong, upright growth habit and excellent reliability, ‘Vanille Fraise’ is ideal for borders, mixed shrub planting, feature displays, and large containers. Like all paniculata hydrangeas, it flowers on new wood, making it easy to prune and dependable year after year, even after cold winters.
