Hydrangea ‘Strawberry Vanilla’ was introduced from France and has got to be one of the most eye-catching hydrangeas in recent years. Vanilla Strawberry (Hydrangea paniculata ‘Renhy’) – a real show stopper and award winner Plant Patent PP20,670 was issued on January 26, 2010.Our site is reader supported, this means we may earn a small commission from Amazon and other affiliates when you buy through links on our site. paniculata ‘Unique’ was self-pollinated for the purpose of obtaining a selection of hydrangea that bloomed in early season with red sterile flowers. ‘Rehny’ resulted from a controlled breeding program commenced in 1987 in Gorron, France, in which H. Strawberry red flower color is typically retained for 3-4 weeks prior to flowers turning brown. Flowers open white, change to pink and finally mature to pinkish-red, with multicolored flowering (vanilla white to strawberry red) occurring in late summer as new flowering stems emerge to join mature flowers. Panicles (7” by 5”) are primarily composed of showy sterile flowers which bloom on new growth from mid-summer to fall. Foliage habit is upright in early summer changing to cascading as summer progresses due to the added weight from the flower panicles. ‘Renhy’, commonly sold under the trade name of VANILLA STRAWBERRY, typically grows to 6-8’ tall and to 4-5’ wide. The specific epithet paniculata refers to the arrangement of the flowers in panicles.
The genus name Hydrangea comes from hydor meaning "water" and aggeion meaning "vessel", in reference to the cup-like capsular fruit. It typically grows to 8-15’ (less frequently to 25’) tall, and features oval to ovate dark green leaves and upright, sharply-pointed, conical, terminal flower panicles (to 6-8” long) containing both fertile and sterile flowers (mostly non-showy fertile flowers) that bloom from mid-summer into fall. Hydrangea paniculata, commonly called panicle hydrangea, is a vigorous, upright, rapid-growing, somewhat coarsely textured, deciduous shrub that is native to China and Japan.
