Hydrangea quercifolia is an upright, multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub typically grows 4-6′ and produces showy panicles of white blooms in summer that persist into fall as dry flowers. Exfoliating branches are covered with large, oak tree-shaped, dark green leaves that turn fabulous shades of dark purple and red in fall.
Plant in moist, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade, and enjoy the show.
