Notes
'Toy Soldier' oakleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia 'Toy Soldier') is a shrub for borders, woodland gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry soil. White and green flower clusters surround lime-green fertile flowers and attract bees. The leaves turn mahogany in fall and stay on the plant long into winter.
