Oakleaf Hydrangea 'Alice' (Hydrangea quercifolia 'Alice') brings four-season interest with big summer flower panicles, dramatic oak-shaped leaves, and exfoliating bark. You will see large white blooms that gradually blush pink, followed by rich red-to-bronze fall color. This deciduous shrub typically matures 60-96 inches tall and about as wide, making it a strong specimen, a loose hedge, or an anchor in a woodland edge.

Place it in full sun to part shade. More sun generally means more flowers and stronger fall color, while a bit of afternoon shade can help in hotter areas. Keep soil evenly moist, especially during establishment and summer heat, and use a layer of mulch to reduce moisture loss and protect the root zone.

Because it blooms on old wood, avoid hard pruning in late winter. If you need to shape or reduce it, prune right after flowering so next season's buds can form. In colder climates, a sheltered spot and winter mulch can help protect stems and flower buds.

Use 'Alice' near a patio or entry for close-up detail, or mass several plants for a natural, textured border. The flowers, foliage, bark, and fall color keep the plant looking good from summer through winter.
