Hydrangea quercifolia is a deciduous shrub valued for its attractive foliage, showy flowers, and stunning fall color. Growing to about 4 to 6 feet in height and width, it forms a rounded shape with large, oak-like leaves that turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and burgundy in autumn. Its cone-shaped flower clusters emerge in late spring to early summer, starting creamy white and aging to pink or purple. Thriving in partial shade to full sun and well-drained soil, Oakleaf Hydrangea is versatile, ideal as a specimen plant or in mass plantings. Low-maintenance and requiring minimal pruning, it benefits from regular watering. Additionally, its exfoliating bark offers winter interest, and its dried flower clusters provide added visual appeal through the colder months.
