watering
Oakleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia 'Flemygea' SNOW QUEEN) requires regular watering while actively in growth; winter months can be slightly dryer. During the spring and summer months, water thoroughly at least once per week, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. During the fall, water about once every 2 weeks. Make sure the entire root zone is moistened by watering slowly and deeply. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage; this will help to prevent fungal diseases and leaf spots.
sunlight
Oakleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia 'Flemygea' SNOW QUEEN) should be planted in full sun to part shade in order to thrive. It should be ensured that it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight throughout the day. The plant may also benefit from some shade during the hottest hours of midday. Morning sun and afternoon shade will give the plant enough light without subjecting it to scorching temperatures.
pruning
Oakleaf hydrangeas should be pruned in early spring, before new growth appears. Pruning should be minimal, with just the occasional selective removal of some of the oldest, larger or slender branches. This will help to promote bushier, denser foliage. Flower buds should not be cut off as this will reduce flowering. To achieve a spectacular display of flowers in late-summer and autumn, some thinning of the flowers after flowering is beneficial to encourage new buds for the following season.
