Description
Hydrangea quercifolia ‘Little Honey’ is a striking oakleaf hydrangea with golden foliage topped with panicles of white flowers in summer. It is a branch sport of ‘Pee Wee’ and is thus compact and upright with stems 3-4 feet high and wide. The foliage will be gold in part sun and lime green in shade. The leaves are also usually brightest when young but mature foliage will also always be striking. Avoid hot afternoon sun which could burn the foliage. The leaves turn mahogany in fall and remain on the plants long into the winter season. A slow-growing shrub of great beauty and one of the few hydrangeas not native to Asia, in this case hailing from the southeastern US. Drought tolerant.
