Key Characteristics
Description / Hydrangea Gatsby Moon® Oakleaf Hydrangea
Like its namesake, the Hydrangea Gatsby Moon® is a classic. This remarkable Hydrangea produces thick clusters of frothy white blooms amidst formidable color-changing foliage.
In early summer, double florets start appearing on Hydrangea Gatsby Moon® and in no time large cones of blossoms with rich, frilly texture will dominate the plant. As these flowers mature, their snowy white hue will be tinged with an interesting lime green. You will have plenty of time to observe this process, as the Gatsby Moon® Oakleaf Hydrangea is a hearty bloomer that keeps flowering all summer long.
But on this towering shrub, which stands 6-10 feet tall, the beauty of the blossoms is matched by that of the massive foliage. In autumn Gatsby Moon's® large leaves take on a deep crimson color.
This Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Hydrangea flourishes in most well-drained soils, preferring more shade in the south and more sun in the north. Feed Gatsby Moon® with Tree and Shrub slow-release fertilizer. Then trim it in late summer after it has finished flowering, as it blooms on old growth. Zones 5 to 9.

Gorgeous blooms, but needs staking
Review by
Mark
This hydrangea bloomed prolifically in its second year, producing luxurious wadded blooms exactly like the photos. However, be aware that Gatsby's stems are not nearly strong enough to support its flowers. A single rainstorm leaves the bush in a puddle, branches flat to the ground, and this situation will persist long after the ground is dry. Gatsby's branches get trained into a sad, drooping shape and stay that way for the rest of the season. In future years I'll plan to stake it from the very start of the season. Aside from this it's a great plant with all the positive qualities of an oak leaf hydrangea. It's sister, Gatsby Gal, is likely less susceptible to collapse due to its lighter, less-dense panicles.

Healthy plant
Review by
Kimberley, plant connoisseur & amateur botanist
I've been looking at this hydrangea for years in the catalogs and finally purchased it. Although it's not blooming yet the plant looks healthy and arrived quickly and very well packaged. I'd read some other reviews about the company that were not very favorable. I wanted to let others know I had a great experience with Wayside and order a lot of plants on line. Would definitely order from them again. Prices very reasonable too.
