Hydrangea quercifolia (Oakleaf Hydrangea)
×
Color Name: Gatsby Gal®
Gatsby Gal is a compact Oak Leaf Hydrangea standing 5-6 foot tall. Although it is compact, the flowers are far from compact! The large blooms feature full panicles of bright white flowers that stand tall above the deep green foliage. With an over abundance of blooms, Gatsby Gal is sure to light up your garden. In the fall the bright white blooms will take on a burgundy pin color for an added season of interest. If you have a small garden, the compact size of Gatsby Gal is just right for you. Plant in full sun to part shade and this native Oak Leaf Hydrangea will be happy. Gatsby Gal blooms on old growth so if your shrub needs a trim, be sure to do so after it is done blooming.
Growing Tips: Oakleaf Hydrangeas bloom on old growth. It is recommended that they be trimmed after they are finished flowering in the late summer. Best suited for moist, well drained locations. May need winter protection in the northern climates. Deciduous shrub. Fertilize in early spring by applying a slow release fertilizer specialized for trees and shrubs.
