Hydrangea quercifolia Snowcicle

Incredibly long, double-flowered panicles with super sturdy branches

A selection from our friend Richard Davis, this new, double-flowered Oakleaf Hydrangea has 12-14” panicles of flowers that age from creamy-white to a stunning combination of rose-red, olive green and cream. Each panicle is held by a super sturdy stem, which eliminates flopping. The plant grows 4-6 feet tall and shows off each fall with vibrant colors of deep wine and burnt orange. Compared to ‘Snowflake’ and other double-flowered selections, Snowcicle has much larger panicles, improved vigor, and sturdier branches.
