Oakleaf Hydrangea 'Snowflake'

The Oakleaf Hydrangea 'Snowflake' (also known as 'Brido') is a remarkable cultivar hybridized by Aldridge and introduced in 1960. It is famous for its double-flowered panicles—each floret has multiple layers of petals, creating a lacy, snowflake-like appearance. The panicles can reach 12-15 inches long. Fall foliage is a brilliant burgundy-red. This cultivar is a true showstopper in the landscape.
