I finally got my plant too. It was small, but it's now COVERED with blossoms. I have two that are fully colored - right to the dark blue in the middle.

I'm so glad I got this one....it's a beauty.

Thanks everyone for your advice.

Wayside Gardens sell this. I almost bought it yesterday, but I have so many Hydrangeas, I opted for another new everlasting cultivar.

I got mine at a local nursery. They were shipped late from the grower and then they potted them up and had to establish them before they went on sale.

My garden center tried to sell me one about a month ago, in a huge pot, at a huge price, but I knew I could get it for much less on line, in a smaller pot. I hope you enjoy it!

We've recently had some landscaping done and chose some a "limelight hydrangea" and also wanted the "pinky winky" ones, but the landscaping place couldn't get the pinky winky, so we opted for a variety called "strawberry vanilla".

They just came by earlier today and planted them; we couldn't believe how beautiful they are. The pistachio one looks beautiful and very different, so I may have to see if our local nursery has any in stock.

I'm trying to find an area to put in a Strawberry Vanilla. They look beautiful at the nursery.

I've never grown one but they are gorgeous! I do have some other hydrangeas that I didn't think would do well but they have done great.

WOW- great price!

What I LOVE about this variety, as well as Red Sensation, is the beauty of the foliage. The plant is "sturdy"- never floppy, & the leaves are thick, shiny, & blue/green. It is compact & is extremely easy to shape according to the allowed space (if need be). It's just EASY, & it blooms like crazy every year. I fertilize in March or April (according to the weather), then again in early July- that's it!

Enjoy!

We have pistachio and bright fuchsia pink flowering beautifully. Hydrangea grow particularly well at the shore. Before Sandy we had the traditional blues, lavender and pink. We have added some of the more usual colors. At one time the color was determined by the soil content. It doesn't seem true with the newer colors and varieties.
