                                    Oakleaf Hydrangea

In summer, oakleaf hydrangea flowers in clusters, and the white flowers fade to a pinkish-brown in fall; their flowers last an extremely long time. The plant's distinguishing characteristic is its oak leaf-shaped foliage. The leathery leaves are large and turn purple, orangey-bronze or red in the fall. These shrubs reach a height of 4'-6' and a spread of 4'-6', but can grow to be larger than that. They prefer a partially shaded area. At Blueville Garden Store we carry 'Alice' Oakleaf Hydrangea, it has bigger blooms that the species.
