Hydrangea quercifolia ‘Burgundy’ Description

Hydrangea quercifolia ‘Burgundy’ is a deciduous oakleaf hydrangea selected for the strong colour of its deeply lobed foliage. Creamy-white conical flower heads appear in summer and may develop pinkish tones as they mature. The large leaves remain green through summer before turning deep burgundy, red and purple in autumn, while older stems develop peeling bark for winter interest. Mature plants generally reach around 1.5 to 2 metres high and wide. Grow in sun or partial shade in fertile, humus-rich soil that remains moist but drains freely. A position with good light encourages stronger autumn colour. It is hardy in Irish gardens but benefits from shelter from harsh wind. Prune only where necessary after flowering, as the following season’s buds form on older stems.
