Hydrangea quercifolia First Editions® Jetstream™ – Oakleaf Hydrangea

We’ve been impressed with this new variety of Oakleaf Hydrangea. Great dense, compact form, blemish-free foliage, prolific flowering – the inflorescences aren’t as large as some varieties, but that means they flop a little less after a heavy thunderstorm. Those inflorescences have lots of fertile flowers which provide food for native bees and other pollinators. In Fall, the foliage turns a burgundy red to plum color with a little orange thrown in here and there. Typical exfoliating bark.
