OAKLEAF HYDRANGEA
Native to the Southeast , oakleaf ( also known as hydrangea quercifolia ) loves its woodland habitat from North Carolina to Tennessee . Starting out as green and white , the blooms pick up subtle shades of pink as they age . The blooms stay on the plant into the fall , and they make wonderful cut flowers . The plants are easily recognizable by their oak-like leaves which give them their name . They can grow up to seven feet tall , but there are many varieties .
