Monticello in Spring

Greetings from Charlottesville!
"Hydrangea paniculata Vanilla Strawberry™ from Bailey Nurseries. Hardy to Zone 4, this relative of the classic PeeGee Hydrangea produces large flower heads starting in midsummer. They begin creamy white but turn pink two weeks later and then become strawberry red or even burgundy, retaining that shade for about 3–4 weeks. New flower heads continue opening into late summer, and as a result, plants display all three color stages at any one time. The blooms are borne on red stems, too, making quite a contrast against the green leaves."
