Hydrangea quercifolia 'Ruby Slippers'


 

Ruby Slippers Hydrangea exemplifies oakleaf hydrangea refinement, delivering distinctive white blooms that gracefully transition to sophisticated vintage-pink coloration throughout the growing season. This cultivar's oak-form foliage establishes exceptional autumn interest through commanding mahogany-tone color progression, extending ornamental presence well beyond the flowering period. Its versatility encompasses hedge definition, border integration, and cutting-garden cultivation. As an old-wood blooming selection, late-fall pruning timing proves essential to preserve subsequent floral production and optimize seasonal performance. The combination of distinctive bicolor bloom progression, refined autumn foliage interest, exceptional oakleaf architecture, and multi-functional utility establishes it as an outstanding selection for gardeners prioritizing extended multi-season ornamental presence and refined aesthetic impact across diverse landscape applications without demanding specialized cultural protocols.

Joseph's Take

Joseph's Take

Actually, I love all Hydrangeas. I love their blooms and their leaves and I love to propagate them from cutting in soil done easily in winter with a little protection. Both Ruby Slippers and Munchkin have beautiful white Oakleaf type flowers and they do darken through the season. Hydrangeas are water hungry when they are producing flowers, the overlooked fall leaf changes are often overlooked, a beautiful red!
