Bushes Ruby Slippers Oakleaf Hydrangea – HYDRANGEA q. ‘Ruby Slippers’. 3 ½’ tall, 4-5′ spread, full sun-part shade, midsummer-early fall bloom. Robust cones open white, quickly turning pink before maturing to ruby red. Dark green foliage turns a brilliant shade of mahogany red in the fall. Blooms on old wood. Zones 5-9.
