Ruby Slippers Oakleaf Hydrangea is known for its attractive foliage and stunning blooms. It typically grows 3 to 4 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide, making it suitable for smaller gardens. The large, oak-like leaves turn bronze-red in fall, adding seasonal interest. In early summer, it produces cone-shaped panicles of white flowers that turn pink and eventually mature to a deep ruby-red. Thriving in partial shade to full sun and preferring moist, well-drained soil, it is low maintenance and suitable for USDA zones 5 to 9. Ruby Slippers Oakleaf Hydrangea is valued for its year-round appeal and is ideal for borders, woodland gardens, and as a specimen plant.
