HYDRANGEA QUE RUBY SLIPPERS
Grower Notes:

Hydrangea quercifolia 'Ruby Slippers' is commonly referred to as Ruby Slippers Oakleaf Hydrangea. It is a hybridization of oakleaf hydrangea cultivars: Hydrangea 'Snow Queen' x Hydrangea 'Pee Wee'. It is noteworthy for its compact habit which matures to only 3-5 feet tall and wide. It has exceptionally large flower clusters in summer which are very showy up against its handsome, dark green oak-shaped leaves. Blossoms open white then quickly age to deep pink, remaining upright through its growing season. Foliage takes on a mahogany red fall color and features exfoliating bark to add an additional dimension of attraction.

Ruby Slippers Oakleaf Hydrangea thrives in filtered light in rich, organic, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It is ideal as a specimen or accent plant or in woodland shrub borders. It can be grown in containers or small gardens.
