Hydrangea quercifolia 'Prinsnow'
'Prinsnow' is a striking deciduous shrub with a distinctive appearance. It features large, deeply lobed leaves that resemble oak leaves, starting as a rich green and turning vibrant red and purple in autumn. The plant produces large, cone-shaped flower clusters that begin in early summer. These panicles start as creamy white, gradually transitioning to a soft pink as they mature, and by autumn, they often take on deeper shades of pink and even red. The flowers are held on sturdy, upright stems above the foliage, adding a beautiful contrast to the changing leaves.Warners have dedicated decades to growing and perfecting the best selection of Hydrangeas, ensuring you receive the finest and most vibrant varieties to enhance your garden.
Cultural
Quercifolia prefer a position in partial shade, though they can tolerate full sun with adequate moisture. They thrive in well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter. Once established, they are drought-tolerant but perform best with consistent watering, especially during dry periods. After flowering, it's ideal to deadhead and prune them to maintain their shape; if necessary, they can be cut back quite hard without harm. For optimal growth, feed them with an organic slow-release fertiliser in late spring.
Landscape Uses
Hydrangeas, with their large, showy blooms, make stunning focal points in garden beds and borders. Compact varieties thrive in large pots, making them perfect for adding beauty to patios, balconies, or courtyards. Their long-lasting, vibrant flowers are ideal for cutting and displaying indoors, and they are especially popular for wedding displays and floral arrangements. Perfect for both cottage and formal gardens, Hydrangeas pair beautifully with other traditional favourites like Camellias, Magnolias, and Azaleas.
