Gatsby Moon® Oakleaf Hydrangea — 4” Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Shrub

Gatsby Moon® is an extraordinary native oakleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia) known for its massive, full, double-flowered white panicles. Every bloom looks like a glowing, fluffy snowball suspended above bold, architectural oakleaf foliage. As the season progresses, the flowers take on soft parchment tones, extending the display for months. This cultivar is dense, refined, and extremely floriferous. And because it’s a native species, Gatsby Moon® offers excellent disease resistance, strong summer performance, and good deer resistance once mature. Fall color is spectacular—deep burgundy and wine-red.
