Hydrangea quercifolia Ruby Slippers - Oakleafed Hydrangea

This Ruby Slippers Oakleafed Hydrangea originates in the USA and has been singled out for its flowerheads over compact, well-rounded plants. They grow into particularly showy shrubs that will even perform well in relatively small spaces, providing great garden value as they bloom for several months from midsummer.

Ruby Slippers' flowers are quite unique in that they emerge as a pure white colour, then quickly shade pale pink before deepening to a 'ruby' colour - hence this Hydrangea's name.

When not in bloom, this also looks really good with unique Oak-leaf shaped foliage providing structural interest. Leaves are usually a lovely green colour; however, in autumn, the foliage will take on brilliant seasonal hues, making an extra dazzling display before leaf fall at the end of the season.  Plant in any moist but well-drained soil in partial shade. It can withstand sunnier spots in the garden so long as the soil remains moist. Prefers sheltered areas away from cold winds.

Supplied in approx 1 litre containers.
