Oak Leaf Hydranges(Hydrangea quercifolia)

Distinguished by characteristic oak leaf-shaped foliage. The leathery leaves are large and turn purple, orangey-bronze or red in the fall.  They are multi-stemmed shrubs, and the branches can shoot out from the center in any direction. Exfoliating bark offers winter interest.  Flower in clusters, and the white flowers fade to a pinkish-brown in fall; their floral display is extremely long lasting.  These hydranges are native to the southeastern U.S.  Flower Color does not vary with soil pH
