Ideal for small gardens, Hydrangea quercifolia Little Honey (Oak Leaf Hydrangea) is a compact spreading deciduous shrub noted for its showy foliage and cone-shaped flowers. Emerging bright golden-yellow in spring, the deeply-lobed, oak-shaped leaves, 4-7 in. long (10-17 cm), gradually fade to chartreuse as the season progresses, then turn showy crimson-red as the nights grow cooler. Blooming in early to mid-summer with some sporadic bloom through late summer into fall, this Oak Leaf Hydrangea boasts dense conical flower heads, up to 5 in. (12 cm), packed with large, white ray florets. The blossoms take on delightful pink tinges as fall approaches. Providing a long season of interest, Little Honey is a lovely Hydrangea to be used as a garden focal point or combined with other shrubs or perennials.
