Hydrangea quercifolia Gatsby Pink® (Oak Leaf Hydrangea) is an upright rounded deciduous shrub noted for its showy foliage and cone-shaped flowers. Blooming in early to mid-summer, this Oak Leaf Hydrangea boasts a profusion of dense, conical flower panicles packed with pure white florets turning deep pink as fall approaches. The lush foliage of deeply-lobed, oak-shaped, dark green leaves, turns wine red as the nights grow cooler in the fall. Providing months of color and a long season of interest, Gatsby Pink® is a great hydrangea for the landscape. This North American native hydrangea has been developed by Powell Gardens of Kingsville, MO.
