Thank you. Aren’t they lovely? It’s amazing to me what things thrived with the snow and what things died. Making a list and def adding more of these babies!
Such a beautiful compact Oakleaf Hydrangea! I have a Pee Wee that I planted years ago and I will have to bring in a few of the Ruby Slippers now too. I love how the bold blooms catch your eye and punctuate vignettes across your beautiful landscape!!🌸
How’s your peewee doing? I planted a peewee and a bobo last year and they just failed terribly. I’m not sure what I did wrong but seem to have better luck with the oakleafs. My limelight’s are also pretty puny too. 😩 I suspect not enough sun probably. Thx for your comment & for being here!
My Pee Wee is actually a dwarf oakleaf hydrangea from Monrovia I found at Calloway’s. The blooms are white and age to tan. However, I have just planted 4 panicle hydrangeas at the beginning of April, ‘Strawberry Sundae’-I think they were First Editions? Also from Calloway’s. I had read an article from Proven Winners and it said that the panicles can take more sun than the other types, so I am trying them in a place where I have had a dickens of a time getting anything to grow. They will all get some morning sun, at least 3-hours, but one will get up to 5. So far the one that has received the most light during these cloudy weeks has stated to bloom, while the other 3 have no signs of buds at all. I’m guessing it’s because of all the cloud cover, but I’m also concerned that when the sun finally starts making a daily appearance that I might end up with scorched plants. So I think you’re right about the sun being the issue with yours. My Oakleaf and big leaf hydrangeas are blooming away under all the cloud cover in light to medium shade.
I bought a ruby slippers last year and I love it! I’m also in Texas, zone 8b/9a, NE of Houston. I have mine in part shade and wondering if that’s why I only have one flower this year 🤔 Great video! 👌
Probably. I initially put 2 in my back garden which is on north side of house and almost 100% shade. They lived but never bloomed. They definitely need some sun to flower. I think the oakleafs desire more sun then what regular hydrangeas need. Can you move yours to someplace with a bit more sun? Like a part sun scenario? Thx for your comment!
Hi. They look beautiful! What growing zone are you in? I am in zone 5a and have provided protection during winter for them, and even doing that I lost some.
No. These are the south facing side of my home but under shade of 2 huge red oaks. They get shade all day until about 4 and then full blast of sun. I had some in the back garden but it has too much shade for them to thrive-so they need some sun. I got mine at Covington’s. I think I bought 6 at one time there. 🌸 thank you for watching/commenting!
I am wanting to add one of these beauties to my front flower beds. I am also in Texas (near Wichita Falls) and have a spot that gets sun from about 8-1, then shade for the rest of the day. Do you think that would be too much sun?
No, not at all. They do perform best with some sun. These in the video get sun from 1:00pm on Android they do great, south facing. (Blocked but house til 1). Get you a couple, I love them! Hardy and reliable.
Hmmm...probably diseased but can’t pin point. I’ve had no problems with mine. I’m an organic gardener so usually if a plant has a problem I’ll get it in my garden. I got mine at Covington’s in rowlett. Not sure where you are but I’d keep looking-they’re so worth it!
Yes. I got them at Covington’s. You can check their inventory online. I called them to see if they 6 and they did, brought to front for me so I didn’t have to search for them myself. www.covingtonnursery.com

Your garden is looking fabulous!

Everything looks amazing!!! Love the look of this little shrub !
I’m so pleased with these ruby slippers! You need some!
This is so helpful! I’m in Texas too, zone 8b.
OMG this is the cutest oakleaf hydrangea I’ve ever seen! Many of oakleaf hydrangeas are a bit rough. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching! I just love these little guys. Still pink in color too! Thx for your comment 🌸
I can’t wait to add these to my yard. I have been looking for something that would provide me with color all year round.
Thanks so
Kelly
These would look great in front of your home!
Love this plant
Me too!

@@SalongirlGardens I was afraid of that! Dang it. I love where I have it; I’ll have to do some serious contemplating 🤔🤔🤣 Thanks for your help!
Hello!
Do you wrap or mulch up these plants during the winter to protect the flower buds?
love the Hydrangeas & earrings! When you showed the size if the bloom... did you just wanna show your fresh Manicure?🤣 Either way both were nice!
Lol!!!! I love this comment!!! I mean…I’m also a hairstylist 🤷♀️😂
Hi. They look beautiful! What growing zone are you in? I am in zone 5a and have provided protection during winter for them, and even doing that I lost some.
Bummer! I don’t protect any of my landscape in winter.
Ooops I’m in 8a
Update video? How are they looking this fall?
Garden is recovering nicely. What a beautiful plant. I need me some Ruby Slippers. Are these planted on the North side?
No. These are the south facing side of my home but under shade of 2 huge red oaks. They get shade all day until about 4 and then full blast of sun. I had some in the back garden but it has too much shade for them to thrive-so they need some sun. I got mine at Covington’s. I think I bought 6 at one time there. 🌸 thank you for watching/commenting!

When I go to nursery there is always some kind of black spot or holes at all of oak leaf hydrangeas. What’s the problem? I am in zone 8 too

May I ask where you purchased Ruby Slippers hydrangea?
Unable to locate
Thank you.
Yes. I got them at Covington’s. You can check their inventory online. I called them to see if they 6 and they did, brought to front for me so I didn’t have to search for them myself. www.covingtonnursery.com
Mine keeps getting black dried leaves and flowers are drying up
That’s a shame!
I’m in texas and we are in a drought and massive heat wave. This year mine definitely need supplemental watering.
