Vaughn's Lillie Hydrangea

Hydrangea quercifolia 'Vaughn's Lillie'

Vaughn's Lillie Hydrangea is a compact deciduous shrub with large oak-like leaves that turn burgundy in fall and has red-brown exfoliating bark.  Its large and fluffy panicles practically cover the shrub and attract butterflies, with white that gratdually fade to pink through summer.  Best bloom in part sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.  

Hydrangea quercifolia is one of the species of hydrangea that acts as a pollinizer, attracting a large number of bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.  Songbirds eat the seeds and use the plant to nest.
