SIKES DWARF OAKLEAF HYDRANGEA
Hydrangea quercifolia 'Sikes Dwarf' is commonly referred to as Sikes Dwarf Oakleaf Hydrangea. It is noteworthy for its dwarf, mounded habit that matures to only 3-4 feet tall and wide. It features pure white, conical flowers that in late June and gradually fade to light pink by fall. Glossy dark green, deeply-lobed, oak-shaped leaves turn a showy burgundy red in the fall. Mature stems exfoliate, revealing dark reddish-brown inner bark which adds another dimension of attraction for this cultivar.
Sikes Dwarf Hydrangea thrives in filtered light in rich, organic, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It is ideal as a specimen or accent plant, and in open woodland areas.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. While adaptable to various light conditions, they perform best with morning sun and afternoon shade. Water regularly until established; once mature, this variety is more drought-tolerant than other hydrangeas, though it prefers consistent moisture. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune sparingly and only immediately after flowering to maintain shape; avoid pruning in late winter or early spring, as this will remove the following season's flower buds.
