Hydrangea ‘Strawberries and Cream’ is a lacecap variety of Hydrangea that features brightly coloured flower heads. The large and showy blooms are bright pink and are borne from summer until early autumn. They sit perfectly with the dark green foliage. It grows as a multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub with a more or less rounded form to about 1.2 m tall and the same wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Best results are achieved when it is planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered site with a slightly acidic soil. It is hardy to cool climates, frost, and short periods of dry. Hydrangea ‘Strawberries and Cream’ is a great variety for adding to a mixed planting, maintaining in a container, including in a cottage garden, or for planting around an outdoor living area.
