Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This royal hybrid of 'Snow Queen' x 'Pee Wee' forms a dense rounded shrub to 6' tall with a wider spread up to 9'. It is distinguished for its hefty, vertical, conical flower panicles (to 9" long) which open white but gradually mature to a striking deep rose-pink. This cultivar blooms one to two weeks later than most Oakleaf Hydrangea cultivars, extending the bloom season! Large, distinct, oak-like leaves are deep-green before turning rich shades of wine-red in autumn. Cinnamon colored exfoliating bark is revealed after leaf-drop for striking winter interest. This fabulous Hydrangea was hybridized by the U.S. National Arboretum in 1998 and introduced into commerce by the Arboretum in 2013. S/PSh-M
