Hydrangea quercifolia 'Ruby Slippers'
Choose Ruby Slippers® Oakleaf Hydrangea if you want bold flower color and red fall foliage in a smaller footprint. The tradeoff: it is a specimen shrub, not a privacy screen or formal hedge.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The flowers age from white to red and the foliage carries the plant after bloom. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in steadily, but it is not a fast cover-up plant. |
| Maintenance | B+ | It needs little shaping if placed with enough room from the start. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Hydrangeas aren't deer-resistant, but they aren't a deer favorite either. Deer may nibble tender new growth and flower buds, so protect plants where deer pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B+ | It is compact for an oakleaf hydrangea, but still needs side room. |
| Screening Value | C | It adds body to a bed, but it is too low and open for real screening. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for a foundation corner, mixed shrub bed, or woodland edge where the foliage can be appreciated after the flowers fade.

No, they open white and age into red tones.
No, this is an oakleaf hydrangea, grown more for texture, flower aging, and fall color.
No, avoid hard spring pruning because oakleaf hydrangeas bloom on older wood.

Healthy looking plants at a reasonable price. Had a problem with one plant on delivery. Chris responded immediately and arranged a replacement that was delivered the next day. Very happy with the service.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very dedicated and professional. We are happy with the way they planted 14 trees for us. 11 green giants, 2 white pines and 1 Norway spruce.
Picked up my plants-ostrich ferns and blue ice amsonia without any problems! Wonderful, responsive owners! Will be buying from them in the future!
