Snowflake Hydrangea is a dense deciduous shrub with large, deeply lobed oak-like leaves that brilliant maroon in fall and rich brown exfoliating bark. Its large upright panicles bloom on old wood with double white flowers that mature to pink then fade to brown in summer attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.
Hydrangea Quercifolia is a native Hydrangea that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. The seeds are eaten by birds and small mammals, and the plant provides nesting for small birds.
