Its arching panicles bloom on old wood with mostly sterile double white flowers that fade to pink then brown in summer attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.

Hydrangea quercifolia is one of the species of hydrangea that acts as a pollinizer, attracting a large number of bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Songbirds eat the seeds and use the plant to nest.
