Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Hydrangea paniculata 'Magical Summer' is a compact variety, perfect for lifting dull corners of the patio or planting in shady borders, offering blooms which subtly change colour as they age plus beautiful autumn foliage.

From July, Hydrangea paniculata 'Magical Summer' carries large conical panicles of zingy lime-green buds supported on a strong, well-branched framework. The buds open to creamy-white flowers and as the summer progresses, they morph to soft pink, continuing to bloom until September. Before leaf fall, the oval, serrated leaves turn red and orange. Hydrangea paniculata 'Magical Summer' offers continuous interest over a long season and is a cinch to maintain - simply prune it back to a low framework every Spring. More drought tolerant than mophead hydrangeas (Hydrangea macrophylla), Hydrangea paniculata 'Magical Summer' makes an exemplary choice for drier, woodland-type borders and for pots or planters in shady areas around the house. Height and Spread: 1.2m (4ft).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Hydrangea paniculata prefers a sunny or semi shaded position, with shelter from cold, drying winds. Grow hydrangea plants in any non alkaline, fertile, moist soil. Improve the soil prior to planting by adding with plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost, ensuring that it is mixed in thoroughly and deeply.

Water regularly until plants are fully established.

Pruning:

Hydrangea paniculata flowers on the current season’s growth and will flower better if pruned annually. Establish a permanent framework to the desired height and every spring prune back all growth to this framework. At the same time, remove any dead or damaged growth.

After pruning hydrangeas, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or compost around the base of the plant. Caution: irritant to skin and eyes, harmful if eaten.
