Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes

How to Use Sikes Dwarf Oakleaf Hydrangea in the Landscape
Try planting this dwarf bush on the sunny side of your house as a foundation plant. It'll soften the edges of your siding as it meets the ground.
You can also create an excellent edging around your beds or a clear break between the yard and the woods behind.
Use as the back row plant in perennial gardens. Its deep green leaves will be a great background for the bright flowers in front of it and give your planting beds some fall color as the rest of the plants prepare to rest through the winter.
Oakleaf hydrangeas are known to be the most shade tolerant of the hydrangeas so if you have a northeast corner in need of anchoring, this is the shrub for you.
#ProPlantTips for Care
We're here for an easy to care for white flower plant. Which is exactly what you're getting with this hydrangea. Who says you can't have it all?
Find a spot to plant in either full sun or partial shade. Like most other plants, it appreciates well-drained soil to grow its best.
Remember, these shrubs flower on last year's wood, so make sure to prune only after flowering is done for the season.
Every three to four years, go ahead and cut out the oldest, fattest stems. This leaves room for the younger, thinner stems to really strut their stuff and provide you with the best blooms.
We suggest adding a layer of mulch around the base of your plant. This protects the root systems from the extremes your weather offers up while also conserving water. The added aesthetic appeal is a bonus.
