(H. q. ‘Brenhill’, ppaf, cbraf)
A little smaller than other H. quercifolia, but with impressively large flowers,
and lots of them. Full panicles of pure white blooms are held upright about the foliage.
The flowers are quite large relative to the plant’s compact size, and make this plant a
great choice for smaller gardens. Developed by Douglas and Brenda Hill of Cleveland,
Alabama. USDA 5, AHS 9, 5-6’, gr 1 Item #: 40934 - 4” • 40935 - Quick Turn
Gatsby’s Moon TM
(H. q. ‘Brother Edward’, ppaf, cbraf)
This is a distinctive, showy take on our beloved native oakleaf hydrangea.
Doubled florets are similar to those of ‘Harmony’, but are more weather-resistant.
The tightly packed, pure white florets create very full, conical panicles with a unique
‘quilted’ effect. As the bloom ages, it turns a nice shade of green that lasts through
most of the summer. USDA 5, AHS 9, 6-10’ gr 1

Gatsby’s Star TM
(H. q. ‘Doughill’, ppaf, cbraf)
It’s got star power! Doubled blooms are similar to that of ‘Snowflake’, but the
individual petals are pointed instead of rounded. The result is a beautiful, lacy panicle –
and a very showy plant. Developed by Douglas and Brenda Hill of Cleveland, Alabama.
