Hydrangea plants are an extremely popular garden plant; easy to grow and resistant to most pests and diseases. They adapt to most garden and soil conditions, making them an ideal choice for shrub beds or garden borders. Vanille Fraise is an exceptional new variety that is the result of years of trials by breeders. This variety of hydrangeas boasts satin white flowers shaped into attractive cones that gradually transform into a wonderful strawberry shade and finally mature to a rich russet red. The erect red stems contrast beautifully with the eye-catching green leaves, forming a display that will add interest to any area of the garden or patio. Flowers from July until well into October, helping to prolong the season of colour in the garden. Plant out into its final position as soon as the weather allows. Water regularly until fully established. Hydrangeas are happiest in a sunny or semi-shaded position as long as there is adequate protection from cold, drying winds. Performs well in any non-alkaline, fertile, moist soil. Prune after flowering to improve the shape of the plant; prune the oldest stems to a few buds from ground level to encourage the production of larger flower heads. Caution: All parts of hydrangea are toxic and will upset the stomach if eaten. The foliage may also aggravate skin allergies.
