Description

Released by the U.S. National Arboretum, ‘Munchkin’ is a handsome dwarf Oakleaf Hydrangea the Arboretum reports has grown to only 3 feet tall and 4.5 feet wide at 9 years of age, which is smaller than other dwarfs on the market, including both Pee Wee and Sikes Dwarf, of which it was a chance seedling. During summer, abundant 6-inch long flower clusters start out white and fade to pink and finally to red as they age. Another outstanding feature is the handsome dark green foliage which turns mahogany in fall.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing in a mound to only 3 to 3.5 feet tall and 5 to 5.5 feet wide, the Munchkin Dwarf Oakleaf Hydrangea is an excellent selection for smaller garden spaces where larger oakleaf hydrangeas just won’t fit. It is ideal for use as an accent or specimen, in groupings or mass plantings, or as a low, natural hedge in landscape and flowering shrub borders or home foundation plantings. Its smaller size makes it perfect for use in pots, planters and other containers of 14 inches or more in rim diameter. Right at home in the partially shaded woodland border or cottage and cut flower gardens. Will handle full sun in zone 5 and 6. Also a nice addition to white or pink color themed gardens and tropical-look gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart for hedge; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Cold Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Hydrangea variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know that it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and place back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Munchkin Dwarf Oakleaf Hydrangea is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil with average fertility, preferring a soil rich in organic matter. Sun exposure will depend on your location. Plants will grow in full sun to part shade in northern zones 5 and 6, and shade to part shade (morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun) in zones 7 and further south. For best flowering, we suggest 6 hours of direct sun light per day. As with so many other ornamental plants, a constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic. Highly resistant to pests and diseases.

Note: Munchkin Dwarf is a Hydrangea quercifolia (oakleaf) species that produces its flowers from buds that formed on “old wood” (during the previous year). Oakleaf hydrangeas typically require little to no pruning. They are best left alone. That said they can be pruned to remove a stray branch or to reduce size.

We were looking for a smaller than normal Oak Leaf hydrangea to include in our container garden, and this one fit the bill. The plant arrived well packaged in good condition, and it has already started blossoming on our patio. I would definitely purchase plants from Wilson Bros again.————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I first ordered one Munchkin Oakleaf Hydrangea. I had a very quick response to my question about whether more of these shrubs were available, so I then ordered 2 more. The single plant was delayed in shipping, definitely due to current pandemic shipping issues, so was a little bedraggled when it arrived. The 2 other shrubs arrived quickly, All were packed securely and to keep moisture in. Since they were planted, all 3 have done very well. I would order from Wilson Bros Gardens again!———————————-Thanks so much for the great review! We are so glad you are pleased! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
