Hydrangea quercifolia 'Queen of Hearts'

This hybrid oakleaf hydrangea cultivar reaches 6 feet tall and spreads to 9 feet wide, displaying a naturally rounded habit. Its defining feature is the impressive upright, cone-shaped flower panicles that emerge white in June–July before transitioning to a striking deep pink. The deeply lobed, oak-like foliage provides medium green summer color, shifting to rich mahogany-red in autumn. Winter interest comes from exfoliating older stems that expose warm brown inner bark. Blooming approximately 7–10 days later than standard oakleaf hydrangea varieties, 'Queen of Hearts' offers extended seasonal appeal and reliable performance in landscape settings.
