Oakleaf Hydrangeas are one of the most carefree Hydrangeas that you can grow. The only problem is that their flower blooms often get so top heavy that they need staking to help support their weight. Jetstream™ Oakleaf Hydrangea does not have this problem. The stems are much more stout and sturdy and hold up the panicle shaped flowers easily and proudly.
Jetstream™ Oakleaf Hydrangea is very resistant to the usual fungal rust and mildews that plague other varieties. Oakleaf hydrangea has the most intense red foliage in the fall as well as colorful and exfoliating bark on the stems during the winter. The 4 seasons of interest that Oakleaf Hydrangea adds to your garden should not be missed.
Jetstream™ Oakleaf Hydrangea Care
Hydrangea prefers a well drained, but moist soil. Extra irrigation during hot and dry spells is required. A part shaded or part sun situation suits Hydrangea the best. In cooler climates, more sun may be tolerated. Average soil with good fertility will keep the foliage colorful and the flowers blooming. Oakleaf Hydrangeas are not as fussy about soil pH as other types of Hydrangea. Slightly acidic soil to slightly alkaline soil is fine.
Mulching Jetstream™ Oakleaf Hydrangea will help the soil to become more moisture retentive over time. A 1-2 inch layer of organic compost or leaves will do the trick. Pruning of Jetstream™ should be done annually in the early spring as the new foliage emerges. Cut Out any dead, diseased, dying or diagonal branches. This Hydrangea blooms on new growth, so there is little danger of cutting off flower buds if pruning early in the season. Fertilizing should also be done early in the spring. An application of a balanced, slow release feed is recommended.
Jetstream™ Oakleaf Hydrangea Spacing
Oakleaf Hydrangea makes a very lovely informal hedge. Jetstream™ has a height of 5-6 feet and a width of 4-5 feet. Spacing these shrubs at 5 feet on center will ensure enough space for proper air circulation and a lovely, dense hedge look.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
