Snowcicle Oakleaf Hydrangea, Bare Root Deciduous Flowering Shrub (1-Pack)
Snowcicle Hydrangea bears big, full panicles of white double flowers in late spring, only to change colors as the florets age. From white to rosy red and finally to soft green, the flower heads sometimes show off all 3 colors at once. This shrub blooms reliably until midsummer and sometimes beyond. Its rich green foliage turns to shades of dark red and burnt orange for great fall interest. It can be grown as an informal hedge and its flower panicles can be dried for indoor arrangements.
