The pyramidal flower panicles are densely packed with pure white flowers for 6 to 8 weeks during summer that gradually age to pink. Large, 8 inch long deep green, oak-like leaves turn attractive shades of bronze, maroon and purple in autumn and persist on the branches well into winter. Mature stems display exfoliating bark that reveals a rich brown inner bark that provides interest in the garden during winter.  \u003cspan\u003eUSDA Zones 5a to 9b\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing in a mound 6 to 8 feet tall and equally as wide, the Alice Oakleaf Hydrangea is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a warm season privacy hedge in landscape and flowering shrub borders.

Right at home in the partially shaded woodland border and a fine addition to Hydrangea gardens, white theme gardens, cottage gardens and cut flower gardens. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSuggested Spacing:\u003c\/span\u003e  6 feet apart for hedge;  12 feet or more apart space between plants\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNote:\u003c\/span\u003e For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Cold Hardiness Zone 5a, where the Oakleaf Hydrangea is not reliably winter hardy, you'll be happy to know that it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and place back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Preferences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Alice Oakleaf Hydrangea is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil with average fertility, preferring a soil rich in organic matter. Sun exposure will depend on your location. Plants will grow in full sun to part shade in northern zones 5 and 6, and shade to part shade (morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun) in zones 7 and further south. For best flowering, we suggest 6 hours of direct sun light per day.  As with so many other ornamental plants, a constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic. Highly resistant to pests and diseases.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNote:\u003c\/span\u003e  Oakleaf is a \u003ci\u003eHydrangea quercifolia\u003c\/i\u003e (oakleaf) species that produces its flowers from buds that formed on \"old wood\" (during the previous year). Oakleaf hydrangeas typically require little to no pruning.

Thanks for the kind words and great review! :) Beth Steele | WBG\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eI just installed 8 plants plus others from you. Believing that a picture is worth a thousand words, I’m sharing these. My home is 21. The front bed under the two windows had very sickly Indian hawthorns, the largest was completely dead, two were bald except the very tips and the fourth was vigorous on the remaining 1\/4 (3 years of pruning away dead limbs made a lopsided mess). After removing that one and cleaning him up, I transplanted him to a spot in my backyard. What you see planted, from left to right, a mock orange that I have trained into a tree: front row is 6 Tom Thumb Arborvitae, back row is 2 fire power nandina, the Slender Hinoki, and 2 more nandina. I have left space for one more mock orange. This garden bed is L shaped. The leg of the L has foxtail fern. In the second picture you can see I have foxtail fern scattered about. That bed also has firepower nandina in it. All of the new plants remain happy one week after planting.\nThe final picture is a bed in my backyard. In it are 3 Hydrangeas from you. On either side of the hydrangeas stand an oak that is native and probably more than 60 years old and a trellis for my star jasmine to enjoy. I originally bought the gorgeous snow cicle hydrangea. It did not like it here. I live in zone 8b and we had a rough dry summer. Hoping these three babies will survive. The one on the left came from you and has been in the ground since Spring. The two new ones look very content for now.\nOne last note, I have sung your praises with my sister in the Dallas area, my brother in El Paso, all my children from here to Virginia. I shared with the owner of my Landscape company, Vincent U. He is impressed. I love my plants.\nThank you-------------------------------Thanks so much for your review.

You shipped it out to me on 6\/13\/20. It arrived by FedEx on 6\/18\/20. Wow, now, that is super fast service! And what arrived was a robust, fresh superior plant specimen —- not one leaf shriveled, not one side branch twisted, or worse broken, not dried out soil in the pot —- just a healthy, living absolutely beautiful plant!!! Thank you, Wilson Bros. for caring to grow and nurture such fine plant stock, and, moreover, for sharing your knowledge and expertise with the rest of us. I am so very pleased with my Alice Oakleaf Hydrangea, and it is enjoying a very special area in my garden.\nRegards,\nFrances L Phillips-----------------------------------------------We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks so much for the awesomereview! :) Beth Steele | WBG\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eI've been looking for an Alice Oakleaf Hydrangea for a few years but none of the local retailers\/nurseries seem to carry them. Although I looked online a few times, I was hesitant to order from an unknown supplier. After researching through some internet review sites, I found some online suppliers that had very good ratings. Wilson Bros Gardens was one of them, and I was really happy that they had Alice in stock and in a 3 gallon size. It arrived more quickly than expected considering the delays everyone is experiencing due to an increase in online ordering, a result of the Covid-19 lockdown. I received the shrub very well packed and undamaged and very healthy looking, better than some other varieties of Oakleaf Hydrangeas I saw in the local retailers\/nurseries. The price for the 3 gallon size and free shipping was very reasonable. Due to ever changing weather conditions here, I haven't planted it yet but it will be in the ground in the next couple of days. It shows absolutely no sign of decline. I would highly recommend this nursery and plan to consider using them again as I expand my gardens.---------------------------------------Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePlant came well packaged and healthy. It’s growing very well ... looking forward to the blooms.
