Description
The Hydrangea quercifolia 'Snowcicle' is a stunning Oakleaf Hydrangea recently selected for its vigour, strong stems and impressive double flower panicles. Over time, the white flowering gradually takes on shades of olive green, cream, and reddish tones. It remains attractive until late summer, soon followed by the flaming foliage in autumn. This bush, full of qualities, is perfect in a large border or a free hedge. Like all Oakleaf Hydrangeas, it is not demanding regarding soil and climate. A must-see!
The Hydrangea quercifolia 'Snowcicle' belongs to the hydrangea family, like all hydrangeas. The species, with single white flowers, is mainly native to the southwest United States, particularly the Mississippi Valley. This plant grows on cliffs, in moist woods, ravines, and along riverbanks from Georgia to Louisiana, passing through Florida. In the garden, it is one of the easiest hydrangeas to grow: it is hardy beyond -20°C (1°F), tolerates some limestone in the soil, light sun exposure, and can handle occasional dryness in deep soils during summer.
This 'Snowcicle' selection is a beautiful deciduous bush, standing on strong stems, reaching about 1.60 m (5ft) in all directions. It is characterised by large lobed leaves, which can resemble oak leaves. One of its major assets is its double flowering, composed of large panicles measuring up to 33 cm (13in) long. Each panicle is carried by a robust stem, preventing vegetation from collapsing. Flowering begins in June-July, depending on the climate, developing on old wood. It consists of semi-erect, pyramidal flower heads. Each flower head is composed of numerous double sterile flowers. These white flower heads gradually take on shades of olive green, cream, and reddish tones. The young spring and summer leaves are covered with a whitish down in spring. They unfold into large leaves measuring 12-14 cm (5-6in) long, divided into five deep lobes with coarsely toothed edges and dark green. They take on fantastic shades of orange, scarlet red, and then purplish crimson in late summer before falling in October. The bark of this variety peels over time, revealing a new and glossy cinnamon-coloured wood, which is decorative in winter.
The Oakleaf Hydrangea 'Snowcicle' thrives when planted in a slightly sunny exposure, which enhances its autumnal colours. The light filtered through the tree foliage suits it well, especially in hot climates. It is superb in the back of a border, as a standalone plant, in a free hedge, or even in a large shrub border. It can be associated with other hydrangeas (Hortensia 'Chocolate Ever Belles Hokomachoko', Hortensia paniculata 'Pink Diamond'), as well as with Nandina, Mexican orange, and Berberis thunbergii. It pairs beautifully with amaranths (Amaranthus Velvet Curtains) and hastate verbenas (Verbena hastata Rosea) in full sun.

Planting and care
To grow a healthy hydrangea quercifolia Snowcicle, follow these tips. Plant it somewhere sunny, but avoid exposing it to too much heat. If you live in a hot and sunny area, the morning sun or the shade of a large tree during the hottest hours is ideal. The hydrangea likes humus-rich, neutral to acidic soil and can tolerate limestone better than other hydrangeas. When planting, make sure to dig a hole filled with a mixture of compost and loam and place it in well-worked soil. To help it grow strong, use a good base fertiliser. During summer, mulching can limit watering. Once established, this hydrangea doesn't need watering in summer, except in hotter areas where it will appreciate weekly watering or every two weeks depending on the weather. In late summer, avoid cutting the dry flower heads as they will protect the terminal shoots of the branches in winter. Cut all dry flowers at the end of February or when the weather gets nicer. The hydrangea's spring growth is slow.

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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
