Strawberry Sundae Hydrangea – a compact variety perfect for smaller spaces and containers. With large conical white flowers that emerge white, change to pink, and then mature to strawberry red, this shrub is perfect for adding color and interest to any landscape. Its deciduous foliage is green, meaning it will lose its leaves in the fall. However, with regular maintenance, this shrub will remain beautiful throughout the year.

Strawberry Sundae Hydrangea is a unique shrub that will grow to be about 5 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 4 feet. It tends to be a little leggy, with a typical clearance of 2 feet from the ground and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a medium rate and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 40 years or more. This shrub performs well in both full sun and full shade. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will thrive in inner city environments. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates.
