Hydrangea Little Honey

The Showiest Oakleaf Yet!

Golden spring leaves, white blooms, scarlet fall foliage, and even bright red stems — what DOESNT Little Honey have?

The most beautiful and distinctive Oakleaf Hydrangea Ive ever had the pleasure of seeing, Little Honey adds a whole new look to this family of multi-season shrubs. A sport of the popular dwarf Pee Wee, Little Honey just oozes charm, from its bright gold foliage to its scarlet autumn tones.The show begins in early spring, when the large, oakleaf-shaped leaves unfurl a brilliant gold. This color remains right through spring and well into summer, eventually darkening to chartreuse and finally green just as the huge 6- to 8-inch white bloom trusses — giant snowy wands in the shade garden, — appear to liven things up again. And with the first nip of autumn cold, the leaves burnish a brilliant scarlet.

Even the stems turn red, and if you live in the southern portion of Little Honeys hardiness range, these leaves and stems will stay put right through winter! Hows that for all-season beauty.Just 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide, Little Honey is the perfect size for the foundation, patio, front-yard accent, or any place of honor in the sunny (in the north) to partially shaded (further south) garden. It looks terrific with its parent Pee Wee, as well as with Kalmias, which bloom in late spring and segue nicely into Little Honeys flower show!Pee Wee is famous for its garden-worthiness — vigor, ease of care, and year-round appeal. Youll find Little Honey even more exciting than its parent in this respect. For luscious color year-round, you just cant top this Wayside Exclusive shrub.Space plants about 3 feet apart in any good garden soil receiving partial to full sun. Zones 5-9.
