Description
Hydrangea quercifolia ‘Oakann1588’ Little Yeti® is an oakleaf hydrangea distinguished by its naturally low and rounded, very branching habit, its white summer panicles turning pink, and its highly coloured autumn foliage. This shrub finds its place at the edge of woodland and in partially shaded areas, and it is perfectly suited for container cultivation. The plant has a beautiful presence, from its flowering to its burgundy autumn foliage and its bark that exfoliates in winter.
Belonging to the Hydrangeaceae family, the oakleaf hydrangea ‘Oakann1588’ is also marketed under the name Little Yeti® (sometimes Li’l Annie Oakleaf™). The species is native to the southeastern United States. The epithet quercifolia comes from Quercus (oak) and folium (leaf), referring to the deeply lobed leaves.
The cultivar Little Yeti® originates from a cross-pollination carried out in 2013 in Guadalupe, California; it was selected for its compactness, dense branching and floriferousness. Compared to similar cultivars (for example ‘Ruby Slippers’), it shows a lower and rounded stature, good inflorescence holding and low susceptibility to leaf diseases.
A deciduous shrub with a rounded-dome, well-branched habit, this hydrangea reaches 0.90m to 1.20m in height and 1.20to 1.50m in spread at maturity (around 8–10 years) in open ground. Its growth is more restrained in a large container (60–90cm tall for 80–100cm wide in a 40–60cm pot). The stems, initially hairy, become woody, orange-brown, and then display bark that exfoliates in decorative papery flakes; the terminal buds are conical and very visible. The root system is fibrous, relatively shallow, and well-branched; like the type species, this cultivar can produce a few offshoots from its base.
The foliage consists of lobed, 10–18cm long and 7–14cm wide leaves, of somewhat leathery texture, hairy when young; the medium green surface takes on purple to burgundy hues in autumn, depending on sun exposure. The leaves are deciduous.
Flowering occurs from late May–June to August, depending on the region: it takes the form of conical terminal panicles, 12–15cm long and 8–10cm wide, composed of a centre of fertile flowers, surrounded by larger sterile flowers with four sepals. These white sepals turn pink over the course of summer. The flowers form on the previous year’s shoots.
Hydrangea ‘Oakann1588’ Little Yeti® forms a large decorative cushion in partially shaded areas or those exposed to morning sun. Place it in the foreground of a large shrub border or on either side of a pathway. To accompany it, play with textures: the powdery blue of Hosta ‘Halcyon’, the fragrant flower clusters and bluish foliage of Fothergilla ‘Blue Shadow’, and then the colourful cascades of Itea virginica ‘Henry’s Garnet’ will bring life to the garden until the end of the season. In a large container on a shaded terrace, combine this hydrangea with evergreen sedges or a heuchera 'Caramel', for example.

Planting and care
Hydrangea Little Yeti requires a sunny position to enhance autumn colours, but dislikes excessively scorching exposures: morning sun or the shade of a large tree during the hottest hours are preferable, especially in very sunny and warm regions. It prefers a humus-bearing, neutral to acidic soil, but tolerates the presence of limestone in the soil better than other hydrangeas. On the other hand, it doesn't tolerate compacted and poorly drained soils well; they affect its hardiness and hinder the development of its roots, which can go deep into the soil.
Prepare a hole filled with a mixture of leaf mould and loose garden soil. When planting, place it in deeply worked soil. A good base fertiliser (horn or dehydrated blood) will encourage your plant to establish and feed it without risk of burning. If your soil tends to be very dry in summer, mix a water retainer into the soil when backfilling the planting hole and create a watering basin on the surface. Once well established, this Hydrangea requires no watering at all in summer, except possibly in southern regions, where it will appreciate weekly watering, or every two weeks, depending on the weather.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
