Hydrangea quercifolia ‘Snow Queen’ is a deciduous shrub with an upright, broad, rounded habit. It features cream-white spring flowers that change to dusky rose-pink, and eventually to tan-brown by winter, dark green summer leaves that turn shades of dark wine-red, burgundy, orange, and purple in autumn, and exfoliating, flaky cinnamon-brown bark on older stems. Flowers on old wood. Uses include borders, informal screens, hedges, mass plantings, focal points, foundation plantings, erosion control. It excels in partial shade though full sun produces the most intense fall color. Requires fertile, organically rich, moist, and well-drained soil. It struggles in heavy, waterlogged clay. Medium water use. Best with regular moisture. Verticillium wilt resistant. Cold hardy to -10°F.
