From bright green, oak leaf shaped foliage in the spring to an impressive display of colour in the autumn, Hydrangea quercifolia ‘Snow Queen’ certainly gives plenty of variety and visual impact in your garden! In early summer, panicles of white flowers appear in elongated cones on this hardy, deciduous shrub. As the flowers slowly fade to a pale, dusky pink, the leaves also change to shades of reds, golds and yellows.
Growing Information
Hydrangea quercifolia prefers a sunny or semi shaded position, with shelter from cold, drying winds. Grow hydrangea plants in any rich fertile, moist soil. Improve the soil prior to planting by adding with plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost, ensuring that it is mixed in thoroughly and deeply. Alternatively plant hydrangea quercifolia in patio containers in soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3.
