This oak-leaved hydrangea boasts attractive foliage, great autumn colour and eye-catching, long-lasting blooms in summer. Hydrangea quercifolia 'Ruby Slippers' produces especially large flowers, measuring up to 22cm, that change colour as they mature. They begin as large green-white panicles in early to midsummer, gradually turning pale pink and then darkening to ruby red. The oak-like leaves are large and deeply lobed, transforming to wonderful shades of purple and red in autumn. This robust and versatile shrub provides multiple seasons of interest and is perfect for mixed borders. Height: 1.2m (4ft). Spread: 1.5m (4.9ft).
