Hydrangea quercifolia Gatsby Pink® 'JoAnn'. A Proven Winners Oak Leaf Hydrangea. Patented (PP27879, 2017) by Alan Branhagen (Kingsville, MO) and Spring Meadow Nursery Inc. (Grand Haven, MI). The patent abstract claims “A new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea plant named ‘JoAnn’, characterized by its loosely upright and outwardly spreading plant habit; strong and sturdy stems; relatively small leaves; freely flowering habit; large showy inflorescences with sterile flowers that are initially white in color and with development become pink to rosy violet pink in color; and good garden performance and winter hardiness.” Maybe the key feature here is the changing color of the flowers?
