Answer

Vanilla Strawberry is a beautiful panicle hydrangea with an upright form. So, from a design standpoint is best planted towards the back of your border with plenty of space around it in order to reach its mature size of 6-7 feet tall and 5-6 feet wide. In Zone 8a it would be ideal to plant in an area where it can receive full morning sun and dappled light in the afternoon, although it will also tolerate some direct afternoon sun.
