Jetstream Hydrangea is a dense deciduous shrub with large oak-like leaves that turns a stunning orange-red in fall and has tawny-brown exfoliating bark. Its large upright panicles held on strong stems open white and slowly mature to pink from bottom up in summer, attracting butterflies. Best bloom in part sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.
Hydrangea quercifolia is one of the species of hydrangea that acts as a pollinizer, attracting a large number of bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Songbirds eat the seeds and use the plant to nest.
