Snowflake Oakleaf Hydrangea

The Snowflake Oakleaf Hydrangea is a deciduous shrub growing to about 6 feet tall and wide. It has very large leaves that are leathery and divided into 5 lobes, resembling a giant oak leaf. Green in summer they turn purple and red in fall. The enormous flower heads are packed with hundreds of white flowers of many tiny petals, which are pure white before turning rosy-red in fall. Blooming continues all through summer, and the flowers last much longer than on ordinary oakleaf hydrangeas. A superb shrub for beds, accents and in natural settings.
