The Ruby Slippers Oakleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia 'Ruby Slippers') is a compact, deciduous shrub known for its stunning flowers, attractive foliage, and remarkable fall color. Ideal for small gardens and landscapes, this versatile and low-maintenance plant adds visual interest throughout the growing season.
The Ruby Slippers Oakleaf Hydrangea is a dwarf cultivar that typically grows to a height of 3 to 4 feet and a spread of 3 to 5 feet. Its compact size and mounding growth habit make it an excellent choice for use in foundation plantings, mixed borders, or as a specimen plant. Hardy in USDA zones 5 through 9, this shrub thrives in partial shade and prefers well-drained, acidic to neutral soil.
This plant offers multi-season interest with its impressive flowers in summer, vibrant foliage in fall, and exfoliating bark in winter.
The Ruby Slippers Oakleaf Hydrangea boasts large, cone-shaped flower panicles that emerge in summer, creating a stunning display of color. The blooms start as a pristine white and gradually mature to a deep pink or rose color, providing a striking contrast against the dark green foliage. The long-lasting flowers also make excellent cut flowers, both fresh and dried, adding to the plant's appeal.
In addition to its showy flowers, the Ruby Slippers Oakleaf Hydrangea is valued for its attractive foliage. The large, oak-like leaves are deep green during the growing season, providing a lush backdrop for the colorful flowers. As autumn approaches, the foliage takes on spectacular shades of burgundy, red, and orange, adding a vibrant display of fall color to the garden.
