Strawberry Sundae Hydrangea – 1 Gallon Pot

---

Growing in an upright rounded form 4 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide, Strawberry Sundae makes an impressive specimen in smaller garden spaces. In larger spaces, it is spectacular in groupings or as a colorful low hedge. Also a nice addition to mixed flowering shrub borders, as an accent in home foundation plantings, as a background in perennial gardens, and in large pots, planters or other containers of 16 inches or more in diameter. A fine addition to Hydrangea gardens, pink theme gardens, cut flower gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing:  3 to 3.5 feet apart for solid hedges;  8 feet or more apart for space between plants

Strawberry Sundae Hydrangea is exceptionally easy to grow when planted right and in the right spot.  Almost any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility will do. It can take the heat at our location here in north-central Georgia, but is also exceptionally cold hardy, withstanding even the coldest winter temperatures as far north as USDA Zone 3a, where it will also tolerate full, all day sun. In zones 7 and 8 it will tolerate full sun however we’ve seen it perform and look its best with a little filtered sun or dappled shade during the hottest hours of summer afternoons. Too much shade and plants become floppy with diminished flowering. For best flowering, 5 hours of direct sunlight per day or all day lightly filtered sun is suggested.
