Description

Ignite your garden with vibrant summer colour from Hydrangea 'Magical Fire'. A compact, bushy shrub that delivers a striking floral display from midsummer through to autumn.

Its conical flower clusters open creamy white and gradually take on a rich, glowing pink-red hue as the season progresses, creating the illusion of glowing embers among lush green foliage. Each bloom intensifies in colour, standing out beautifully against the dark green, serrated leaves that provide structure and contrast throughout the growing season.

Ideal for planting in borders or patio containers, 'Magical Fire' makes a brilliant feature plant and looks especially impressive when grouped together for extended impact. Its neat, compact habit makes it perfect for smaller spaces without compromising on flower power.

Supplied as an established plant in a 3 litre pot, ready to plant.

Top Tips

To extend seasonal interest, leave some flowerheads on the plants over winter, where they will look gorgeous covered with frost and they will provide shelter for overwintering wildlife.

Care Information

These plants are at their best in moist soil as long as it is well-drained, in a sunny or partially shaded space.
The more sun the plant gets, the better the colour. This is a moisture-loving plant, so remember to water it regularly and deeply.
This is a hardy plant, but frost can cause damage to young buds, reducing the number of flowers, so protect your plant with fleece if freezing weather is likely.
Pruning is generally best carried out in early spring. A general tidy-up is usually all that is needed and consists of removing the dead bloom from each stem, cutting back to the first strong, healthy pair of buds down from the faded flower.
As hydrangeas flower on the previous year's growth, in spring cut out one or two of the oldest stems at the base to encourage the production of new, replacement growth that will carry more flowers.
