Hydrangea quercifolia 'Pee Wee' (Dwarf Oakleaf Hydrangea) Unity Grown

Hydrangea quercifolia 'Pee Wee,' commonly known as 'Pee Wee' hydrangea, is an adorable dwarf oakleaf hydrangea cultivar, the smallest hydrangea in Unity's catalog that's perfect for a variety of uses in the home garden. 'Pee Wee' matures to a very manageable size of just three to four feet tall and only three feet wide, with bright green attractive foliage, making it ideal for small spaces, low hedges, and large containers. From June to July, this cultivar is noted for its striking cone-shaped flower panicles that emerge clean white and quickly mature to pink before fading to brown for the cooler months; flowers are highly attractive to pollinators, and 'Pee Wee' gains multi-season appeal with its dark wine red fall foliage.

After fall foliage has come and gone, coarse mature stems exfoliate to reveal an attractive, cinnamon brown inner bark, which adds eye-catching appeal to the winter landscape as well. This cultivar performs best in fertile soil in full to part-sun areas, and its compact form works in smaller landscapes, low hedges, and planted in containers, and with year-round aesthetic appeal, 'Pee Wee' makes an excellent addition to any part of the landscape.
