Oakleaf Hydrangea 'Munchkin'

Munchkin Oakleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia ‘Munchkin’) is a compact cultivar of the native oakleaf hydrangea, bringing beautiful blooms and year-round interest to smaller landscapes. In early summer, large upright clusters of white flowers rise above its deep green, oak-shaped foliage and gradually fade to soft pink as they mature. As the seasons change, its leaves develop rich mahogany-red fall color, adding another layer of interest to the garden. With its dense, rounded habit, ‘Munchkin’ is a great choice for woodland gardens, shrub borders, or landscapes where you want the beauty of an oakleaf hydrangea in a more compact size. The parent species, Hydrangea quercifolia, is native to the southeastern United States.
