The Oakleaf Hydrangea 'Alice' is a beautiful deciduous shrub with showy white flowers that appear in early to mid-summer, fading to pink as they age. This shrub has an erect rounded growth habit and can reach a height and width of 5 to 8 feet at maturity.
'Alice' prefers to be planted in full sun to partial shade in moist, well-drained soil. Mulching the plant in the summer can help conserve soil moisture, which is especially important in drier climates.
As with all hydrangeas, 'Alice' needs to be pruned immediately after flowering, as flower buds are produced on second-year wood. Harsh winter temperatures can kill flower buds, so it is important to protect the plant from extreme cold.
This oakleaf hydrangea makes an excellent specimen plant near a patio or entryway. It can also be planted in small groups, in shrub borders, as an informal hedge, or in a woodland or winter-themed garden. With its showy flowers and attractive foliage, 'Alice' is a great addition to any garden or landscape.
