Berry White Hydrangea Tree
This long-awaited introduction is a step forward in paniculata breeding. With strong, upright stems and large cone-shaped flower panicles that stay upright, this plant is a summer stunner. The flower color starts out white in July then progresses to dark pink, beginning at the bottom and developing up to the top of the panicle. Berry White® blooms a little later than Strawberry Sundae® and about the same time as Vanilla Strawberry™. Color shades can vary by location, climate, and type of soil. This tree-form hydrangea is perfect for garden focal points or containers.
