'Little Honey' Oakleaf Hydrangea - DISCONTINUED

***We no longer offer this product. Create a similar look with Pee Wee Hydrangea!

Brighten up your yard with 'Little Honey' oakleaf hydrangea! This unusual, always sought-after variety sports a mantle of glorious chartreuse foliage all season long, making it the perfect way to lend a touch of color and illumination to shady spots. It also makes a memorable combination with flowering perennials or annuals. It gets the typical big, ice-cream-cone-shaped blooms in summer, plus, its show doesn't stop when the weather gets cold: it still develops the amazing red hues that oakleaf hydrangeas are known for. Plant in a spot with some shade during the hottest part of the day, which will minimize the risk of burning and make sure the golden hue of the foliage is at its brightest and best.

What makes 'Little Honey' different from other oakleaf hydrangeas?

• Bright chartreuse-yellow foliage 
• Smaller stature makes it well suited to small spaces and flower gardens
