Gatsby Glow Ball
Hydrangea 'NCHQ1'
Smaller than 'Ruby Slippers', faster growing than 'Munchkin', and smaller and denser than 'Snow Queen', Gatsby Glow Ball oakleaf hydrangea ( Hydrangea quercifolia ) opens up a wide range of landscape possibilities. Of course, it offers the same showy white flowers and outstanding fall color that make oakleaf hydrangeas so beloved, but what really sets this apart is its container presentation. A boon to growers and retailers, Gatsby Glow Ball oakleaf hydrangea looks tidy, rounded, and appealing, even in a container and on the shelf at retail.
