Hydrangea quercifolia 'Oakleaf Hydrangea

This upright, broad-rounded, multi-stemmed deciduous shrub is known for its showy pyramidal clusters of white summer flowers on exfoliating branches accented by large, 3–7 lobed, oak-like dark green leaves. With a compact, rounded form, cone-shaped flower clusters emerge from late spring to early summer, displaying single or double white blooms that gradually fade to pink and mauve. In autumn, the leathery green leaves transform into vibrant shades of purple, red, and bronze, while the cinnamon-brown peeling bark along the stems adds striking winter interest once the foliage has fallen.
