Description

The Semmes Beauty Oakleaf Hydrangea is a fantastic choice for any partial shade garden or landscape. With leaves that reflect its namesake, this Oakleaf brings dynamic structure and texture to the table. Broad, light-green leaves emerge in Spring after this deciduous shrub awakens from its winter slumber. Large conical, white flower panicles emerge in mid-summer, joining the matured dark green foliage. Furthermore, these blooms appear a couple of weeks earlier than traditional Oakleaf Hydrangeas, and they are also larger and more white. These flower stalks will age to a light pink until finally drying to a light brown. Afterwards, the soft green leaves turn to a glossy copper brown and red in fall, once the blooms have run their course. The Semmes Beauty's dynamically changing nature will keep your landscape beautiful and intriguing all growing season long.

The Semmes Beauty Oakleaf Hydrangea features a vigorous growth habit and will quickly make itself at home in your landscape. This hydrangea maxes out at 10' H x 20' W, and will have a true presence once matured. In addition, this plant is noted for its heat-tolerance, and is perfect for landscapes and gardens in the southern United States.

Use it as a specimen, foundation plant, screen, or border. Additionally, its blooms make for unique cut-flowers, as well as gorgeous dried flowers.

*The Semmes Beauty Oakleaf Hydrangea is a deciduous/semi-evergreen plant and will go dormant during the winter months. When this plant is ordered during the Fall/Winter expect seasonal foliage decline(discoloration, spots, leaf drop) or the plant to arrive completely dormant.*

Care & Use

Getting Started: Understanding Your New Plant

Review your plant's information on our website or the tag that comes with it. Be mindful of sunlight preferences, soil type, and spacing needs.

Our plants are adaptable but grow best in the correct USDA Zones. Click here to learn more about your USDA Zone.

Planting Instructions

Dig a Hole

First, dig a hole three times the width of the root ball of your plant. This makes it easier for the root system to spread out quickly. Dig the hole deep enough that your plant will sit level with or slightly above the ground around it.

Amend Your Soil

Mix your native soil with rich gardening soil to provide extra nutrients and support plant growth. If your soil is clay-heavy, we recommend mixing your native clay soil with equal parts of Pine Bark mulch to improve drainage and the overall breathability of your soil.

Place Your Plant

Examine the roots. If they appear tightly bound, gently coax them apart; this ensures they can spread into the new soil. Place your plant in the hole so the top of the rootball is even with the surrounding soil—Backfill around it with the amended soil mixture. The roots need access to oxygen for your plant to thrive, so do not cover the rootball; place soil around it.

Mulch Your Plants

Top the soil beneath your plant with 3-4 inches of mulch to help it retain moisture. Be careful not to cover the rootball - your new plants roots need access to oxygen.

Water Your Plant

Soak the plant with a hose afterward to hydrate the plant, as well as get the soil and mulch situated. Develop a regular watering schedule based on your plant's needs and local weather patterns. Remember, over watering is just as, if not more, harmful than under watering.

Spacing Recommendations

Semmes Beauty Oakleaf Hydrangea Spacing Recommendations

Space Your Semmes Beauty Oakleaf Hydrangea 5-6 feet apart for a seamless planting. Otherwise, plant them 8+ feet apart to leave space between shrubs.
