If Hydrangea q. `Snow Queen' is grown in the sun in the Pacific Northwest, its leaves turn uniformly red as the weather cools. It is one of the best shrubs for fall color in our garden. The large, 8-inch panicles are upright and quite showy. The foliage is 6 inches long and about 5 inches wide in an oak-leaf pattern. Young stems are lightly woolly: old trunks and stems have attractive exfoliating bark.
Midsummer to autumn. 7 ft. x 5 ft.
