Although "established" Oakleafs do not require as much water as macrophyllas, their first season (or two) in the garden should be a moist (although not wet) one......yg

It may just be related to the weather extremes you have been experiencing. My oakleafs are in full bloom now (started in early July) and will hold their flowers until well into fall. Excessive early hot weather will encourage earlier blooming and the flowers will fade faster. Crispy flowers can often equal insufficient watering as well - how does the foliage look?

My oakleaf is on it's third year. No blossoms the first two years and only one this year. The plant is very healthy and this year in particular has gained alot of height. I would think that the crispy parts of the plant would be indicative of lack of water, doesn't mean the plant won't be better next year thiough. I have this problem often, as hard as I try. Think the weather is changing on us also. The past couple of Winters here in New England I have loss more plants expecially azalas which have been around for ever. Good luck

I can't find a place that sells them at low price. Do any have any that want taken off your hands? I just need 2 plants. Just email IM,for I rarelly here to check posts.
