Gatsby Moon oakleaf hydrangea is truly swoon-worthy, thanks to its very large, very full mophead blooms. Few other oakleaf hydrangeas can compare in terms of flower volume: each inflorescence is comprised of densely-packed white florets that combine to make a sturdy, thick bloom. Like the rest of the Gatsby series of Proven Winners oakleaf hydrangeas, it also boasts beautiful foliage, especially in autumn, when it turns an array of red shades. A very special hydrangea for the gardener who can’t get enough of the oakleaf!
