Hydrangea paniculata ‘Renhy’ (Standard)
Choose Vanilla Strawberry™ Hydrangea Tree if you want a formal focal plant with big summer-to-fall flower color at eye level. The tradeoff: it needs pruning and steady moisture, and deer may browse it.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | The raised head and changing bloom color make it a strong focal point near entries, patios, or main garden views. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It fills in quickly for a small ornamental tree, especially when watered during dry stretches. |
| Maintenance | B- | Plan on yearly pruning, mulch, and watering during dry spells to keep the head balanced. |
| Deer Resistance | D | Hydrangea flower buds and tender growth can be browsed where deer pressure is steady. |
| Small Space Fit | B | The tree form keeps flowers above low plantings, but the canopy still needs breathing room. |
| Screening Value | D | It is a focal plant, not a privacy plant, because the single trunk leaves open space below. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend planting this where you can see the canopy up close, not buried in a mixed back border. Keep the base mulched and prune while dormant for a cleaner head.

Yes, it blooms on new wood, so winter dieback is less of a bloom problem than with some hydrangeas.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth starts, shaping the head and removing weak stems.
They age from white into pink and red, but the depth of color varies with weather, sun, and season.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
