Description
Ruby Slippers Hydrangea is a compact oakleaf hydrangea known for its brilliant flower color transitions and bold fall foliage. In early summer, upright clusters of white blooms emerge and quickly mature to rich pink and ruby-red shades, delivering a satisfying color show through the season. Its deeply lobed, oak-like leaves turn intense shades of red and mahogany in fall, creating a strong multi-season presence in the landscape.

Its small stature and broad spread make it ideal for foundation plantings, borders, and naturalized areas where long-lasting blooms and striking fall color are appreciated.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Thrives in part sun to full sun; best performance with morning sun and afternoon shade

  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch mulch layer to conserve moisture and protect the root zone

  • Pruning: Prune only after flowering if needed; blooms on old wood

With its vibrant blooms, compact form, and dramatic autumn color, Ruby Slippers Hydrangea is a standout shrub that brings elegance, texture, and seasonal interest to Michigan gardens.
