If you are a gardener who prefers to sit back and enjoy your landscape rather than be constantly tending to it, the Oakleaf Hydrangea shrub is a perfect choice!The Oakleaf Hydrangea bush is a native plant that gets its name from its beautiful large, shaped leaves, which are accented by its dramatic white flower blooms that will stay on the plant for months. The Oak leaf hydrangea's white blooming flower buds appear in cone shaped clusters throughout the growing season.It has excellent fall foliage! The hydrangea shrub's dark green leaves turn red orange with attractive shades of red bronze, crimson, or purple while the flowers turn a shade of pink. These color changes happen before the shrub loses its leaves in winter. The leaves are large and oblong, they can grow up to 8 inches long.This hardy Hydrangea quercifolia shrub grows up to 6-8 feet tall and wide. The Oakleaf hydrangea flower clusters grow on a 12 inch long stem. The Oakleaf hydrangea size will grow to the space you plant it in. If you have a small space or container this will work for the plant. Looks great in woodland gardens too because it is shade loving.
