Hydrangea Quercifolia, Oak Leaf Hydrangea

Hydrangea quercifolia, commonly known as Oakleaf Hydrangea, is a beautiful deciduous shrub that is native to the southeastern United States. It is cherished for its showy, cone-shaped flower clusters and distinctive oak-shaped leaves.

To successfully grow Hydrangea quercifolia, choose a planting location with partial shade to protect the foliage from scorching. The soil should be rich, moist, and well-draining. Dig a hole that is slightly larger than the plant's root ball and incorporate organic matter into the soil before planting. Water the shrub regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Pruning should be done immediately after flowering to maintain its natural shape and encourage new growth.

Hydrangea quercifolia is generally low-maintenance but benefits from occasional fertilization in spring and a layer of compost in fall. With proper care, this striking shrub will reward you with its stunning flowers and attractive foliage, adding charm to your garden or landscape.
