Oakleaf Hydrangea ID
in Plants
Hi,
I've had an oakleaf Hydrangea for two years. This is the first year it's properly bloomed, however the flowers its produced are not what I have seen on other oakleaf hygrangeas (see images).
I thought the blooms were supposed to be conical? They have also turned brown after 2 weeks. I have read that the blooms of these plants last through into late summer?
Is this definitely an Oakleaf and if so are these blooms typical?
Cheers,



Jack.
