Prune soon after potting will produce a finished product that doesn't open up when it flowers. The key is to make the first prune at the level of the first set of leaves closest to the soil.

Grower Tips: 

Gatsby Gal™ is 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 above the foliage. The flowers are quite large relative to the plant's compact size.

Gatsby Moon™ is a distinctive, showy take on native oakleaf hydrangea. Doubled florets are similar to those of 'Harmony', but 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.

Gatsby Star™ has doubled blooms which are similar to those of 'Snowflake', but the individual petals are pointed instead of rounded. The result is a beautiful, lacy panicle - and a very showy plant.

They are best in moist, well-drained soil. Prune after flowering. May need protection in winter.
