Hydrangeas are a garden classic. The fancily-named flowering plant stands out in any garden, and the vine and shrub variety give you a diverse set of options. They’re fantastic for bringing together vertical and horizontal decorating in your garden, and there’s some color variety that you should know about too!

This vanilla-strawberry variety isn’t something you can just go out and grab, though.

These are a specially-bred variety, but any good gardener knows that some growing and breeding can multiply a plant in no time.

Cold-tolerant and pretty too, these flowering shrubs are no pushovers when it comes to the cold. The strawberry-vanilla kind here is of the deciduous variety – which along with evergreen, is one of two major categories that you can find these plants in.

And what better to do with a gorgeous plant than to decorate your home with it?

Plop one of these down along your path or beside your doorways, and you’ll give your house a glow-up that you never knew it needed. Pink is a great color choice, but let’s not pretend it can’t look obnoxious sometimes.

Saturation can really make or break a color choice, and the obnoxiously bright and saturated kind of pink can be quite the eye-sore.

Thankfully, these Hydrangeas are nothing of the sort. They’re a much tamer, clearer pink that transitions into the creamy, vanilla shade at the tips.

Truly, these hydrangeas look as sweet as their ice cream namesake.

You can start breeding more of them if you’ve got the touch for it! It only takes a few of the plants to get started, and you can order them online.

After all, having an eye-sore of a scene is kind of the opposite of what you’d want here.

If you fancy planting your own Hydrangeas, then your best bet for when to plant them is during fall. Their roots have some basic requirements that have to be met, and planting them at the right time is a huge help in meeting those requirements. Plants, after all, are still living things!

Now that we’ve covered the when of planting Hydrangeas, it’d be a natural next step to discuss the where.

Don’t go ahead and think you can just plant them down anywhere. Hydrangeas are pretty temperature-sensitive, and they don’t do well under intense sun.

Meet them right in the middle, and pick a spot where they can get shade and just the right amount of sun too. They’re not too different from people if you think about it.

We all adore sunny days, but that doesn’t mean we’d enjoy standing right under direct sunlight the whole day.

It’s paramount that their roots have enough room for water drainage and breathing room. You can also always consult more experienced gardeners and sources if you’re anxious about messing it up. There’s no shame in asking for help!

With a bit of research, care and effort, you’ll be growing gorgeous strawberry-vanilla Hydrangeas in your own garden.

There’s a video you can watch below that’ll introduce you to them, so give it a watch below and share this article when you’re done!
