Hydrangea quercifolia 'Ruby Slippers' Oakleaf Hydrangea

Ruby Slippers' Oakleaf Hydrangea is another introduction from the National Arboretum's McMinnville shrub program, chosen for its small stature and showy display. The 9" upright blooms are white when they first appear in June and July. They rapidly turn pale pink and then age to a deep rose. The fall color is also attractive, in shades of red and purple. It is a cross between H. Snow Queen™ and H. 'Pee Wee', which accounts for the upright flower panicles and the compact habit. Native, walnut tolerant, and more deer resistant than other hydrangeas. 4' x 5'
