Hydrangeas are great plants for shady areas but in warmer regions they need a lot of care and watering. That is not so with the native oak-leaf hydrangea, which is much more tolerant of hot and dry conditions. The common types come only in white, but the Ruby Slippers Hydrangea has stunning rose-colored flowers that really bring color and life to partially-shaded areas and to sunny ones too. The conical flower-clusters are large and long-lasting, blooming all summer and into fall as well.
The Ruby Slippers Hydrangea is the perfect choice for an easy, striking shrub that you will love. The bold, lobed foliage is gorgeous in form and turns spectacular shades of gold, red and orange in fall. No special care is needed, a great plant for low-maintenance and its a native plant too for natural landscaping.
