Southern Living Semmes Beauty Oak Leaf Hydrangea Live Shrub in 2.5-Gallon Grower Pot

Semmes Beauty Oakleaf Hydrangea is a towering hydrangea with gorgeous blooms and stunning fall foliage features that will fill any space of your garden with 4 seasons of brilliance. Not only is Semmes Beauty tall, but this hydrangea produces large flower clusters that can get up to 14 inches long! The showy clusters of four-petaled ivory color slowly fade to a rose-pink in late summer and eventually fade to a soft tan color that stays with shrub until winter. Large, dark green oak-shaped leaves emerge each spring upon this fast-growing hydrangea. These wonderfully large oak shaped leaves turn shades of crimson and bronzy purple in the fall, providing your garden with more seasonal interest. You won't be disappointed with the 4 seasons of color you bring to your garden with Semmes Beauty! In northern USDA zones, plant Semmes Beauty in full sun to part sun. In Southern USDA Zones plant this hydrangea in part sun to full shade. In winter and early spring, this plant will ship dormant. When planting this Hydrangea, dig the hole twice as wide as the pot and mix rich garden soil in with your native soil, then leave the top of the root ball 1/2 inch above the ground level when filling the hole with soil. Use a slow release granular fertilizer in Spring. This plant will ship dormant in Winter and is not guaranteed to be in bloom on arrival.
