Common names: Oakleaf or Oak-leaved Hydrangea
Family: Hydrangeaceae
Origin/Distribution: 'Ruby Slippers' is a classic cultivar of Oakleaf Hydrangea with the parentage of 'Snow Queen' and 'Pee Wee' (that would be quite the fairytale). It was introduced in 2010 by the U.S. National Arboretum.
The species is native to the southeast from Georgia down to Florida and west to Louisiana
Habitat: moist, open woods, woods edge, ravines, bluffs, streamside
More: 'Ruby Slippers' will appreciate either a sheltered spot (which can be among a group of other shrubs) or growing in a large pot that can be dragged to a protected area (like a cold barn or garage) in the winter in case we have a particularly cold one. As it blooms on old wood, it can have significant bud damage with extreme, prolonged temperature drop, but although flowering less the next summer, will recover. It is a lovely plant, and I am always caught by the oak leaf-shaped leaves. Makes a good cut flower fresh or dried, especially in large bouquets as it is a bodacious flower. This shrub is part of my plan to spice up my flower arranging ingredients while also replacing some of the numerous multiflora roses growing here.
