Autumn Reprise Hydrangea is a mounding deciduous shrub with large oak-like leaves that turns burgundy in fall and exfoliating bark. Its long semi-arching panicles of fragrant soft white flowers age through vintage pink to red and bloom first in early summer, and again in late summer, attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and rich, moist well-drained soils. Autumn Reprise has excellent disease resistance.
Hydrangea quercifolia is one of the species of hydrangea that acts as a pollinizer, attracting a large number of bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Songbirds eat the seeds and use the plant to nest.
