Three New Hydrangeas for 2009 & 2010 from Bailey Nurseries

First Editions Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangea

First Editions Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangea

New from Bailey Nurseries in St. Paul, Minnesota is a hydrangea that is a triple-dipped treat for your garden. It changes through three colors as it blooms. This hydrangea paniculata’s enormous blooms start out a creamy vanilla-white, changing to a soft pink and finally to a ripe strawberry-red. The unique red color lasts for three to four weeks, longer than most hydrangea paniculatas. New blooms keep the multicolored show going throughout the summer and early fall. The extra large blooms are held on strong, red stems that cascade later in the season. It’s upright habit and large cone-shaped flowers make it a dramatic addition to the garden. It is especially showy planted in groups in a border.
