.
Common name: Oakleaf Hydrangea
Family: Hydrangeaceae (Hydrangea family)
Distribution: North America
IUCN Red list: Not evaluated
Hardiness: 5b
Life form: Deciduous shrub/sub-shrub
Comments: This 6 to 8 feet tall flowering shrub is native to the woodlands of the southeastern United States. Large cone-shaped flower heads appear in early summer and slowly change from white to pink. The oak-shaped leaves turn rich shades of red, bronze and purple in autumn while the cinnamon-colored bark and persistent dried flowers provide winter interest. A tough shrub with year-round interest, it's an excellent choice to fill a shady garden area.
