Why Plant Vanilla Strawberry™ Hydrangea in Bulk?
A patio plant that looks good enough to eat! Our Vanilla Strawberry™ Hydrangea is a sweet shrub that’s big on charm. It’s perfect for your entryway garden, foundation plantings, or anywhere you need a pop of luscious, late-season color. From mid summer through fall, this incredible Hydrangea will serve up generous helpings of creamy white blossoms that change from white to bubble gum–pink and eventually to a rosy strawberry–pink. New blooms continue to form throughout the season, creating an enchanting multicolored effect. You may think such a showboat would be a diva, but Vanilla Strawberry™ is easy to please, and even novice gardeners will succeed with it.
Hydrangeas are hot! Hydrangeas have always been popular, but recently they've become must-have plants. Breeders in the U. S. and Europe have been creating countless new varieties to tempt us, each one more enticing than the last. These aren't your grandmother’s Hydrangeas! Vanilla Strawberry™ is a selection of Panicle Hydrangea, a species native to Japan, China, and Taiwan. It was developed at a French family nursery as part of a Hydrangea breeding program that took many years of patient work. The nurserymen who created it began making their crosses in 1987, and finally saw success in 2002. Vanilla Strawberry™ was patented in the U. S. In 2007. Vanilla Strawberry™ Hydrangea beat out many other exciting new plants to take the prestigious honor of “Top Plant” from the American Nursery and Landscape Association in 2010. Bravo!

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
