RUBY SLIPPERS OAKLEAF HYDRANGEA

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.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. While adaptable to various light conditions, they perform best with morning sun and afternoon shade. Water regularly until established; once mature, this variety is more drought-tolerant than other hydrangeas, though it prefers consistent moisture. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune sparingly and only immediately after flowering to maintain shape; avoid pruning in late winter or early spring, as this will remove the following season's flower buds.
