Description
Hydrangea paniculata Living Strawberry Blossom® is a paniculate hydrangea perfectly suited to small gardens and pot cultivation. Its charming, pretty white panicles become increasingly pink as summer progresses. This shrub with sturdy stems offers abundant flowering that remains decorative for nearly three months. Elegant, delightfully coloured and easy-going, it brings a sweet and refined touch to both garden and terrace.
Living Strawberry Blossom® is a paniculate hydrangea from the Living Creations® series, registered under the code ‘LC NO3’ PBR. This cultivar was introduced in 2017 by Alex Schoemaker in the Netherlands. It received a silver medal at the KVBC competition in 2020, rewarding the quality of its flowering, the sturdiness of its structure and its ease of cultivation.
At maturity, this shrub reaches approximately 1m in height and 1.20m in width, with a well-structured bushy habit and sturdy stems. Its deciduous foliage is dark green and slightly downy. Flowering begins in July and continues until September, representing approximately 100 days. The conical, 25 to 30cm long inflorescences first open pure white, then gradually take on soft pink hues, before turning to deep pink at the end of summer. This very hardy hydrangea withstands temperatures down to –30 °C. It thrives in both full sun and partial shade, provided it is planted in moist, fertile, well-drained soil, preferably neutral to slightly acidic. Not very susceptible to diseases, it also shows great tolerance to urban conditions.
Hydrangea paniculata Living Strawberry Blossom® is a safe bet for all types of gardens. Its large panicles remain decorative for a long time, even after flowering. They can also be used in fresh or dried cut flower arrangements. It can be used in shrub borders, low hedges or containers. To accompany it, choose, for example, pink roses such as 'The Fairy' or 'Bonica'. A Japanese spiraea 'Little Princess', with light pink flowers, will create a lovely textural contrast. To reinforce the depth of this display, add a Physocarpus 'Diabolo' or 'Lady in Red', with deep purple foliage.
*Prestigious competition in Europe, founded by KVBC (Belgian association of plant producers), regularly testing new cultivars; it gives an insight into their performance under various conditions.

Planting and care
Hydrangea paniculata 'Living Strawberry Blossom' is undemanding when it comes to soil type, as long as it is not too heavy, not too chalky and not too dry in summer. It requires a sunny position, without scorching heat, or partial shade. Plant it in deeply cultivated soil. A good base fertiliser (horn and dried blood) will encourage your young plant to establish and feed it without the risk of burning. If your soil tends to be dry, mix in compost and potting compost when filling the planting hole, and create a watering basin on the surface. Mulch in summer to reduce watering. Growth in spring is quite late.
Hydrangea paniculata are more tolerant of occasional lack of water and establish easily even in non-acidic soil (nevertheless, avoid heavily lime-bearing soils).

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
