Plant InformationHydrangea Quercifolia Snowflake, also known as ‘Oak Leaved Hydrangea’ is a stunning deciduous shrub prized for its long-lasting, double-flowered panicles and dramatic foliage. This variety thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and benefits from partial shade to full sun. Its large, deeply lobed leaves resemble those of an oak tree and turn rich shades of red, purple, and bronze in Autumn, adding seasonal interest.
During Summer, ‘Snowflake’ produces cascading clusters of double white flowers that gradually age to a soft pink, creating an elegant display.
