Native Oakleaf Hydrangea is perfect for either partly shady or shady spaces with moist but well-drained soil conditions, although it blooms best with three-four hours of morning sun per day. This shrub grows to fill a space up to about 2-8 feet.
Oakleaf Hydrangea will provide a welcoming environment to birds, butterflies, and other important pollinators and wildlife. This plant also helps add texture and color to your late spring and summer garden.
When planted in the ground, this plant will spread wider and grow taller, while also helping underground soil systems.

How to Plant Your Native Plants
Instructions for Planting in the Ground
1. Dig a hole at least two times wider than your plant's root ball, but no deeper than the height of the root ball.
- Plant 36 to 72 inches apart to allow room for spread.
- Please refer to the design to assess if larger spacing is needed.
2. Loosen plants by gently massaging the sides of the container, then tipping upside down into your palm, being careful to not hold plants by their stems or disturb the root zone.
3. Cup the root mass in your hand and gently place it into the hole. Because container plants are usually grown in high organic soil mixes, we recommend adding organic matter to the backfill. Be sure to blend this into the backfill, using as much native soil as possible. Pat down soil around the plant base.
4. Add two-three inches of mulch to help retain moisture, taking care that the mulch does not touch plant stems, and water thoroughly.

Soil Suggestions
Plant oakleaf hydrangeas in well-drained, slightly acidic soil.
Amend with organic compost if your soil is compacted.
If needed, apply compost, pine needles, or oak leaves as mulch each spring to increase the soil’s acidity as the materials break down over time.
