Looking for something a little different from your usual hydrangea? Meet Hydrangea quercifolia Snow Queen, the bold and beautiful oakleaf hydrangea, prized just as much for its striking foliage as for its flowers. With its large, maple-like leaves and showy white cone-shaped blooms, this impressive shrub offers three seasons of garden drama.
In late spring to early autumn, upright clusters of white flowers emerge, gradually taking on a soft pink blush as the season progresses. Then, as the weather cools, the lush green leaves ignite in rich tones of red, orange, and bronze, making this a true standout even when blooms have faded.
Soil: Moist, rich well-drained soil.
Conditions: Morning sun to afternoon shade. Frost and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 2m x width 2m
