Gerry,
Got mine from Woodlanders back in 1987. Here's the URL to their
homepage; send for a listing...don't know if they still have it or
not.
http://www.woodlanders.net/
Their page is info., directions, catalog request only - no catalog
online. Their links page has one to Nurseries Carolina, with whom
they have a relationship and who, apparently, carry a bunch of
Woodlanders plants.

Checked their list - very large list of hydrangeas - and they list
it...
Love that shrub. After a few years in the garden, it, like all H.
quercifolias, will start to sucker and those can be dug in very early
spring (just at bud break) and planted out immediately....just did
that myself this year. When you dig them, you think you've really
screwed up as they don't seem to have any roots of their own, but
they seem to grow on anyway.
Have taken cuttings of one or the other of my H. quercifolias (have
the species, too), and gotten plants but I can't remember which one
or whether it was both of them...did it several years ago and gave
the results away.
