Beautiful blooms and unique foliage give this plant a striking appearance. The Snow Queen™ Oakleaf Hydrangea or Hydrangea quercifolia is a large perennial featuring white bunches of flowers held up on strong stems. The large green foliage is shaped like oak leaves and gives this plant added texture. The leaves shift to a bronzy red color by the fall. The peeling bark and orange buds provide even more winter color and interest.
This Hydrangea has an upright growth habit and can be used in a mass planting or bed. The large size allows this shrub to work as a hedge or border. Plant along a fence or foundation wall or trim the showy blooms to feature in arrangements. Grow this beauty as a perennial in USDA zones 5 through 8.
Snow Queen™ Oakleaf Hydrangea Care
The Snow Queen™ Oakleaf Hydrangea needs partial sun to thrive. Water this plant when the top few inches of soil dry out. Use soil that is fertile, moist, and well-drained. Apply a balanced or all-purpose plant food during the spring.
This shrub blooms on old wood, so it is best to prune in the late summer or early fall after the flowers fade. Remove damaged growth at any time.
Snow Queen™ Oakleaf Hydrangea Spacing
The Snow Queen™ Oakleaf Hydrangea is a big plant that will reach 5 to 8 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide. Plant shrubs as close as 5 to7 feet apart for a wall of greenery while still allowing each plant enough room to thrive.
