Description
The Little Honey Oakleaf Hydrangea provides the same four-season appeal as its larger cousins, but with brilliant yellow leaves and in half the space! Its large and showy, deeply-lobed, oak-shaped leaves emerge golden yellow in spring and retain this color well into summer gradually fading to chartreuse and then green by early fall at which time they turn to a handsome crimson red color. Showy cone-shaped panicles of white flowers bloom in early summer and sporadically through summer into fall. The flowers fade to a dusty pink color. Red stems provide interest during the winter months.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a mound to about 4 feet tall and 5 to 6 feet wide, the Little Honey Oakleaf Hydrangea is ideal for use in landscape or woodland borders as an accent or specimen, in small to large groupings, or as a natural hedge. Its smaller size makes it perfect for use in smaller garden spaces, home foundation plantings and pots, planters and other containers of 14 inches or more in rim diameter. A fine selection for Hydrangea gardens, white or yellow theme gardens, cottage gardens and partially shaded woodland gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 4 feet apart for hedge; 8 feet or more apart or more for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Cold Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Hydrangea variety is not reliably winter hardy, you'll be happy to know that it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and place back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Little Honey Oakleaf Hydrangea is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained, soil with average fertility and full sun to part shade in northern zones where it will grow and shade to part shade (morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun) in southern zones. It prefers a soil rich in organic matter. For best flowering, we suggest 6 hours of direct sun light per day. As with so many other ornamental plants, a constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic. Highly resistant to pests and diseases.
Note: Little Honey is a Hydrangea quercifolia (oakleaf) species that produces its flowers from buds that formed on "old wood" (during the previous year). Oakleaf hydrangeas typically require little to no pruning. They are best left alone. That said they can be pruned to remove a stray branch or to reduce size.
