Hydrangea Quercifolia Jet Stream, 3L
£32.00
notes
A wonderful plant for a dull corner, the oak leaved Hydrangea Quercifolia Jet Stream provides a wealth of interest, with its interesting oak shaped leaves, full of texture. This compact, bushy shrub is happy in partial shade, and in late spring/ early summer (later than other varieties) it bears clusters of conical, white flowers, which age to pink as they mature. The benefits of this plant do not end here, as, in autumn, the foliage turns a fiery orange red, before the leaves fall.
Dimensions
- Pot Size: 3L
- Height and Spread: 200cm (6ft 7in) x 250cm (8ft)
