The Oak Leaf Hydrangea(Hydrangea quercifolia) is a white flowering large leaf shrub better suited to the Aussie climate, as it tolerates the heat and dryness of our summers better than other hydrangeas. The Oak Leaf Hydrangea features large green oak-shaped leaves that take on exceptional colours in the autumn months, and if that’s not enough, this beautiful hydrangea shows off stunning clusters of large white flowers, making this a shrub for all seasons. Oakleaf hydrangeas are best pruned immediately after flowering. This allows you to enjoy the beautiful blooms during the growing season, and pruning later in the season or in winter may remove the flower buds for the following year.
