Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Blooms stand upright on this majestic Oakleaf. Medium to large sized oakleaf has double petals and can be confused with snowflake. However, this variety grows larger and just wider but has slightly smaller blooms and larger leaves. The wide panicles turn crimson red while the leaves turn deep red. We love this one for consistent showy blooms.

Oakleaf hydrangea is a slow growing shrub of great beauty and one of the few hydrangeas not native to Asia in this case hailing from the southeastern US. Conical white panicles produced in late spring grace the plants all summer and tinge pink as they age into fall. The deep green oak leaf-shaped foliage turns purple-red in fall. The more sun this shrub gets the better its fall colour. It is also drought tolerant.
