The one criticism I have of this plant is the stems aren't sturdy enough to support the flowers. In wet seasons they spoil on the ground

Thats a shame Andrew, could feeding it help?

Tetrarch - feeding doesn't seem to have made much difference. Sometimes I tie the branches to a small bamboo cane pushed in at an angle but it's yet another garden job I don't get round to :-(

I have a few roses that tend to droop on weak stems..you should hear me lecture them on not having time to coddle them. I tell them they get fed and watered, sprayed and weeded..couldnt they just hold their heads up??? LOL!

Lovely! Pretty contrast - the white against the dark leaves. How tall does it grow, Andrew? How long does it flower for (thinking of adding it to my Wish List!).

Sheila - the book says six feet high by eight wide; I'd say mine was about half that size and it's ten years old now. Like all hydrangeas, I leave the old flowers on and tidy the plant in spring

Thanks Andrew - I'll look out for one.

That is my favorite flower of all H. quercifolia but you're right about the stems not being strong enough!

Thats really fab..love the pure white against the zingy green of the unopened buds. A very eyecatching plant.
