Hydrangea quercifolia
Sikes Dwarf is about half the plant that you might expect from the full
size species. For most gardens this is a good thing. It is
hard to fit a plant capable of 8-12 feet tall and wide. Hydrangea
Sikes Dwarf tops out at 4-6 feet tall and wide in our gardens. The
flowers are in smaller clusters and tend to bloom off cycle from the
species in mixed plantings. This has made for much more continuous
blooming by having more than one variety in a garden. Hydrangea
quercifolia can grow in full sun near the coast and in the northern
section of its range, but for inland gardens plants will perform better in
a shady garden. Hydrangea Sikes Dwarf is drought tolerant if it has
to be, and can get by reasonably with intermittent irrigation once
established. Hydrangea quercifolia is Winter hardy to zone 5
