Hydrangea Vanilla Fraise

Frequently Bought Together
Description
A true classic for late-summer colour, Hydrangea ‘Vanille Fraise’ (Vanilla Strawberry) is loved for its big, cone-shaped blooms that change beautifully as the season progresses. Flowers open creamy white, then gradually blush through soft pink into deeper strawberry-red tones—often showing multiple shades on the same flower head at once.
It’s hardy, reliable, and gives that romantic “end of summer” feeling in borders, along boundaries, or in a large statement pot.
Why you’ll love it
- Colour-changing blooms – creamy white to pink to strawberry-red
- Long flowering season – summer into autumn
- Hardy & easy-care – dependable in Irish and UK gardens
- Great for cutting – beautiful fresh and for drying
Where to plant
Plant in sun to part shade in moist, well-drained soil. Perfect for:
- Mixed borders as a focal point
- Repeating along a fence for a flowering screen
- Large containers (with consistent watering)
Caragh Garden Notebook (care made simple)
- Light: Sun to part shade (more sun = stronger colour)
- Soil: Moist, fertile, well-drained
- Water: Water well during dry spells; don’t let pots dry out
- Feeding: Feed in spring to support strong growth and flowering
- Pruning: Prune in late winter/early spring—flowers form on new wood, so a cut-back encourages strong new stems and bigger blooms
