Hydrangea quercifolia 'Munchkin'
Munchkin oakleaf hydrangea
Large upright flower clusters open white in early summer and gradually become pink. Broad, oak-shaped leaves give this compact selection a bold texture. Developed for smaller landscapes, it offers the seasonal character of an oakleaf hydrangea on a more manageable frame.
