Hydrangea quercifolia
Common name: Oak-leaved Hydrangea
Native to southeastern United States, its native range would indicate it needs protection, and it does! Prefers 3-4 hours of morning sun and protection from wind. Beautiful flowers in late June and July. Leaves are oak-like in appearance and turn orange and red in the fall. The exfoliating bark on older stems adds winter interest.
