Munchkin oak-leaf hydrangea is derived from a shrub that is native to the moist woods of eastern north America. This plant has a dwarf form only reaching about four to five feet in width. It prefers rich, consistently moist soils, but can manage as an understory planting with supplemental watering. Apart from the beautiful conical flower heads, this hydrangea displays exceptional red fall color. In Zone 5 protect young plants in exposed locations with burlap and mulch. Prune after flowering as it flowers on old growth.
