Insects, Diseases, or Other Plant Problems: This plant has some susceptibility to leaf blight and powdery mildew. Plants can lose significant numbers of flower buds or die to the ground in harsh winters (temperatures below -10 degrees F), thus respectively impairing or totally destroying the bloom for the coming year. Plants should be given a sheltered location and winter protection (e.g., mulch, burlap wrap) in USDA Zone 5, particularly when not fully established. Winter damaged stems may be pruned in early spring. Prune if needed immediately after flowering (little pruning is usually needed). It needs some sun to bloom, thrives in moist soils, and appreciates a summer mulch that helps retain soil moisture. The Oakleaf hydrangea is easily grown in organically rich, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade.
This plant's common name is in reference to the leaves that look like those of Quercus (oak). A pyramidal cluster of white blooms matures in the late spring and summer, turning purple with time. The leaves turn red or purple in the late fall. It has 4- to 12-inch oakleaf-shaped leaves that are fuzzy when young. Oakleaf Hydrangea is a deciduous shrub that may grow to 8 feet.
