Flowering Period

Hydrangea quercifolia 'Gatsby Star' is a stunning cultivar of oakleaf hydrangea that captivates with its distinctive star-shaped flower clusters and lush foliage. This variety is particularly celebrated for its ability to enhance gardens during the summer and autumn months, providing a vibrant display that draws the eye. The large, white blooms emerge from mid to late summer, creating a striking contrast against the backdrop of the garden. As the season progresses, these flowers transition to soft pink tones, offering a delightful change in color that adds depth and interest to the landscape.

In addition to its beautiful flowers, 'Gatsby Star' showcases deeply lobed leaves that resemble those of an oak tree. These leaves undergo a stunning transformation in the fall, turning brilliant shades of red, orange, and burgundy, which further enriches the seasonal palette of any garden. The plant's compact and rounded growth habit makes it an excellent choice for smaller spaces or as a focal point in a mixed border. Its well-branched structure not only contributes to its aesthetic appeal but also ensures that it maintains a tidy appearance throughout the growing season.

This hydrangea thrives in a range of light conditions, from partial shade to full sun, although it benefits from some afternoon shade in hotter climates to protect its foliage from scorching. It prefers moist, well-drained soil that is slightly acidic to neutral, enriched with organic matter to support its growth. For optimal health and shape, pruning should be carried out right after flowering, which encourages robust new growth for the following season. Hardy in UK climates and generally resistant to pests and diseases, 'Gatsby Star' is a low-maintenance option that gardeners can rely on for years of beauty and enjoyment. Height: 180 cm (71 in) Spread: 180 cm (71 in)

Hydrangea quercifolia prefers a sunny or semi shaded position, with shelter from cold, drying winds. Grow hydrangea plants in any rich fertile, moist soil. Improve the soil prior to planting by adding with plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost, ensuring that it is mixed in thoroughly and deeply. Alternatively plant hydrangea quercifolia in patio containers in soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting.

So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
