Hydrangea quercifolia 'Snowflake'

Gorgeous native Hydrangea with stunning white flower clusters. Intricate blossoms resemble magnified snowflakes!

Deeply lobed, oak tree-like leaves make a bold statement, especially in fall when the foliage turns brilliant purple and crimson. Blooms on old wood. Deciduous.

Prune out weak or winter-damaged stems in early spring. Pruning time: summer after flowering.
