Protected Series: GATSBY
Zone: 5GATSBY GAL® OAKLEAF HYDRANGEA
Hydrangea quercifolia 'Brenhill' PP25106 Proven Winners® Color Choice® Gatsby Gal® is a standout oakleaf hydrangea cultivar known for its impressive floral display and compact, sturdy habit. Unlike some larger oakleaf varieties that can become leggy, Gatsby Gal® remains relatively manageable in size while producing an abundance of oversized, upright white flower panicles. As the season progresses, these blooms gracefully transition from a crisp white to a soft, lingering pink. The foliage is equally remarkable, featuring deeply lobed, oak-like leaves that turn a showy, deep burgundy-red in fall, providing multi-season interest in the landscape.
To keep Gatsby Gal® thriving, it should be planted in a spot that receives full sun to partial shade, though in hotter climates, afternoon shade is beneficial to prevent leaf scorch. It prefers moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter and does not tolerate "wet feet" or standing water. Because it blooms on old wood, any necessary pruning should be done immediately after the flowers fade in late summer to avoid cutting off next year's buds. An ideal location would be a mixed border or a woodland garden where its unique texture and fall color can be fully appreciated.

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.
