Little Honey Hydrangea Bushes

Hydrangea quercifolia 'Little Honey' grows in tight spaces or small yards where other oakleaf hydrangeas are too large. As with most Oakleaf Hydrangeas, they prefer soil rich in organic matter, that is well drained in full to part sun. Mulch for summer months to prevent soil moisture evaporation. This little gem will grow best in partially shaded areas. Leaves are a yellow to green shade or chartreuse. Wonderful showy foliage that will brighten up any landscape.

Your Little Honey Hydrangea white flowering shrub blooms on old wood. While it doesn't necessarily require pruning, if you want to shape it, prune right after flowering. This white flowering shrub make an excellent specimen or show plant for gardens.

Growing the Little Honey Oakleaf Hydrangea in zone 5 requires a bit of care. Plant in areas protected from winter winds and other elements. You may want to apply another layer of mulch and wrap with burlap or other open weave fabric. In temperatures below -10 degrees F, the plant may lose flower buds or die to the ground from harsh winters.
