Hydrangea quercifolia 'Flemygea'(SNOW QUEEN)
Common Name: Snow Queen Oakleaf Hydrangea
Hydrangea quercifolia ‘Snow Queen’ is a deciduous shrub valued for its upright white flower panicles, bold oak-shaped foliage, and excellent seasonal color. This oakleaf hydrangea blooms in early to mid-summer, producing large upright flower clusters that open bright white and gradually mature to soft pink and tan. The deeply lobed leaves turn rich burgundy, bronze, and purple in fall, while exfoliating cinnamon-brown bark provides winter interest. Type: Deciduous shrub Mature Size: Width: 4–6 ft · Height: 4–6 ft USDA Zones: 5a–9b Form: Upright, rounded Light: Full sun to part shade Soil: Rich, moist, well-drained soil; tolerates drier conditions once established Water: Medium; prefers regular moisture during establishment Wildlife: Attracts bees and other pollinating insects Features & Landscape Uses: Excellent for woodland gardens, foundation plantings, mixed shrub borders, and specimen use where upright flowers and strong fall color are desired. ‘Snow Queen’ is especially noted for holding its flower panicles more upright than many other oakleaf hydrangeas. Care: Plant in fertile, organic-rich soil with mulch to conserve moisture. Prune only after flowering if shaping is needed, since flower buds form on old wood. Once established, it is more drought tolerant than many other hydrangeas.
