Alice Oakleaf Hydrangea is a broad upright deciduous shrub with large, deeply lobed oak-like leaves that brilliant bronze and maroon in fall, and rich brown exfoliating bark. Its large arching panicles bloom on old wood with double white flowers that fade to pink in summer attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and rich, moist well-drained soils. Alice is resistant to many leaf based diseases.
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.
