With Semmes Beauty Oakleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia 'Semmes Beauty'), you get pretty white clusters of flowers above a bonus — foliage shaped like oak leaves. The white flowers begin appearing in summer and then fade to a soft pink as they age. The leaves turn bronze in fall and the shrub is nearly as pretty in autumn as it is when flowering. Plant a group of these large shrubs to control weeds or for a colorful privacy border.
Of course, Semmes Beauty Oakleaf Hydrangea can stand alone as a featured plant in nearly any landscape. The hydrangea grows to almost 10 feet high and 20 feet wide, making a bold statement in the summer garden. The white flowers and green- to- bronze foliage make this hydrangea a pretty accent to yellows and purples in the garden. It's also a cold-hardy shrub, surviving winters down to zone 5 and taking heat up to zone 9.
Semmes Beauty Oakleaf Hydrangea Care
Plant Semmes Beauty Oakleaf Hydrangea in part sun to shade for best health and results. It needs average, regular watering. Fertilize your hydrangea in early spring and add some organic compost around the base of the plant to retain moisture. After the leaves turn color in fall, they will drop by winter. But new growth appears in early spring in most climates. Your hydrangea needs no pruning, but removing faded flowers promotes new growth.
Semmes Beauty Oakleaf Hydrangea Spacing
If planting a border or grouping of stunning Semmes Beauty Oakleaf Hydrangea shrubs, place them about 20 feet apart from center to center.

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). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

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.
