Outstanding color changes with the seasons! Hydrangea quercifolia 'Ruby Slippers' features upright conical-shaped flowers which, emerge white before maturing to ruby red in the early summer. This true dwarf thrives in heat, drought, or poor soil, as long as it's well-drained. Blossoms start white and gradually turn pink, then rose-red as summer progresses. Dark green oak-like leaves turn brilliant shades of mahogany-red in the fall. Exfoliating bark is particularly showy in the winter.
