Gatsby Gal Oakleaf Hydrangea

Hydrangea quercifolia' Brenhill.' The oakleaf hydrangea, also known as Hydrangea quercifolia, is a lovely deciduous shrub that hails from the southeastern United States. It typically grows between 4 to 6 feet tall but can tower up to 8 feet! This delightful shrub is cherished for its stunning, cone-shaped clusters of white flowers that bloom in the summer atop branches adorned with large, oak-like, dark green leaves. The name "Hydrangea" originates from the Greek words "hydro" meaning "water" and "angeion" meaning "vessel," which wonderfully describes the cup-shaped fruit of the plant. The specific epithet "quercifolia" comes from Latin, translating to "oak leaf"—a perfect way to characterize the unique shape of the plant's leaves. One charming cultivar, 'Brenhill,' stands out as it’s smaller than other oakleaf hydrangeas but gifts us with impressively large flowers. The pure white blooms are held proudly above the foliage, making it a fantastic choice for cozy gardens! These flowers
