First Editions® Strawberry Sundae® Hydrangea - Shipped
Strawberry Sundae Hydrangea is a compact deciduous shrub and flowers both on old and new wood. The heavy panicles arch the branches as they bloom white and mature pink, then red and persist until frost attracting butterflies. While it can tolerate full sun, its best blooms are in part sun and rich, moist well-drained acidic soils.
