Gatsby Glow Ball® Oakleaf Hydrangea is a compact, native showstopper that earns its keep in four seasons of interest. In summer, enormous ball-shaped white flower heads glow brilliantly above bold, oak-shaped foliage. As fall arrives, the blooms transition to soft lime-green while the leaves ignite in fiery shades of orange and burgundy, a spectacular autumn display. Even in winter, the peeling cinnamon-brown bark and persistent dried blooms add textural beauty to the dormant garden.

• Massive ball-shaped white blooms in summer, aging to lime-green in fall
• Spectacular fall foliage, orange, burgundy, and red leaf color
• Exfoliating cinnamon bark provides striking winter interest
• Native to the Southeastern U.S., supports native bees and pollinators
• Compact 3–4 ft. habit, fits where full-size oakleaf hydrangeas are too large
• Drought tolerant once established, tougher than bigleaf hydrangeas
• Hardy in Zones 5–9

Gatsby Glow Ball® Oakleaf Hydrangea thrives in full sun to part shade with moist, well-drained soil. It is notably more drought tolerant than other hydrangea types once established, though regular watering during the first season promotes vigorous root development. Mulch generously to conserve moisture and protect the shallow roots. Prune immediately after flowering if needed, as it blooms on old wood. This native hydrangea is highly adaptable and virtually pest-free. Whether you plant it as a specimen, hedge, or mass planting, Gatsby Glow Ball® will reward you with beauty in every season.
