Hydrangea quercifolia 'Harmony'

Oakleaf Hydrangea 'Harmony'

A large deciduous shrub with large oak-like leaves, panicles of white flowers, and exfoliating bark, this species is native almost exclusively to rich woods in Alabama but is very widely grown as a favored ornamental shrub. Plant in fertile well-drained but moist soil in shady or semi-shady sites or even in full sun with mulch and irrigation. 'Harmony' has large dense 12 inch heads of sterile flowers which weigh down the branches. This plant has both ardent admirers and those who think its "gross"!. Discovered in a church cemetery near Rainbow City, Alabama, by the father of plantsman Joe McDaniel, 'Harmony' was also introduced to the trade by Eddie Aldridge and his father.
