Detailed Information

Hydrangea quercifolia, the species from which ‘Munchkin’ is derived, is native to the **southeastern United States**. Specifically, it’s found in states like:

* Georgia
* Florida
* Alabama
* Mississippi
* North Carolina
* South Carolina
* Tennessee

It thrives in wooded areas and along stream banks in these regions. While ‘Munchkin’ is a cultivated variety, its genetic heritage ties it directly to this southeastern U.S. origin.
