Description
With enormous flower clusters up to 14 inches long, ‘Semmes Beauty’ is an outstanding Oakleaf Hydrangea selected for its vigor and tolerance of the heat and humidity in the South. This magnificent beauty is a 4-season color factory. Large, oak-shaped, dark green leaves emerge in early spring followed by elongated, showy clusters of four-petaled ivory color flowers that turn to a rose-pink in late summer and fall. But the color show doesn’t stop there. Striking shades of crimson and bronze purple foliage light up the fall garden. The flowers dry to a soft tan color and persist through the winter, contrasting nicely with the exfoliating copper-brown, cinnamon and tan bark. The cut flowers are great for use in fresh or dried flower arrangements.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a mound of 8 to 10 feet tall and 10 to 12 feet wide, Semmes Oakleaf Hydrangea is ideal for use as an accent or specimen, in groupings or mass plantings, or as a natural hedge in landscape and flowering shrub borders or home foundation plantings. Right at home in the partially sunny woodland border or cottage and cut flower gardens. Also a nice addition to white color themed gardens and tropical-look gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 8 feet apart for hedge; 14 feet or more for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Semmes Oakleaf Hydrangea is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained, soil with average fertility and full sun to part shade in northern zones where it will grow and shade to part shade (morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun) in southern zones. It prefers a soil rich in organic matter. For best flowering, we suggest 6 hours of direct sun light per day. As with so many other ornamental plants, a constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic. Highly resistant to pests and diseases.
Note: Semmes is a Hydrangea quercifolia (oakleaf) species that produces its flowers from buds that formed on “old wood” (during the previous year). Oakleaf hydrangeas typically require little to no pruning. They are best left alone. That said they can be pruned to remove a stray branch or to reduce size.
