Size

Hydrangea quercifolia 'Amethyst' is a distinctive oakleaf hydrangea valued for its evolving flower colour and strong seasonal interest. In early to mid-summer, upright panicles of white flowers appear above bold oak-shaped foliage. As the season progresses, the blooms slowly deepen through pink tones to rich amethyst-purple shades, creating a long-lasting and unusual display. In autumn, the foliage turns vibrant red and burgundy, extending interest well into the year. Fully hardy and easy to grow, this variety is an excellent choice for borders, woodland-style gardens, and feature planting.
