Hydrangea quercifolia 'Pee Wee' Oakleaf Hydrangea
Oakleaf Hydrangea 'Pee Wee' is a rounded deciduous shrub with showy white flowers that appear in early to mid-summer. As the flowers age they fade to pink. This is a smaller cultivar reaching a height of 3 to 4 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide at maturity. Its leaves are also smaller than other oak leaf hydrangeas. Plant 'Pee Wee' in the full sun to partial shade in moist well-drained soil. Mulch this plant in the summer to conserve soil moisture.
Because blooming occurs on old wood, prune if needed immediately after flowering. It works well in small groups, in shrub borders, as an informal hedge, or in a woodland or winter themed garden.
Foliage turns bronze, maroon and purple in fall.
