Alice Oakleaf Hydrangea — Hydrangea quercifolia

Alice Oakleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia 'Alice') is a breathtaking native shrub that earns its place in the garden across all four seasons. In summer, large arching panicles of double white flowers fade gracefully to soft pink, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. Fall brings one of the most spectacular foliage displays of any shrub — the large, deeply lobed oak-like leaves turn brilliant shades of bronze, burgundy, and maroon. Winter reveals rich brown exfoliating bark that adds striking texture to the dormant landscape. A Georgia native and true wildlife plant, Alice provides seeds for birds and small mammals and nesting habitat for small birds. Thrives in part sun with rich, moist, well-drained soils.
