Hydrangea quercifolia
is a large
bold and showy shrub with excellent oak-like green foliage in
summer that changes to shades of red, burgundy and purple in the
fall. Its flowers, clusters of 4-10" high panicles, start out a
creamy white during the summer, changing to purplish-pink in
August and finally brown.
The different varieties of Oakleaf Hydrangea range in height from
4-8 feet with a spread of 10-12 feet, either upright and rounded
or broadly pyramidal. This plant likes sunny and dry conditions,
but will do well in the shade also.

Wee Oakleaf Hydrangea)
