Hydrangea macrophylla Magical® Cerise
Not all Hydrangeas showcase best as big, commanding shrubs. In fact, sometimes it’s the smaller varieties like Magical ® Cerise that win the hearts of the gardener. Perfect for container growing and for placing along a pathway, this petite grower has its own way of garnering attention. Cherry-red flowers open with a frosty hint of pink, becoming more saturated in color as they mature. Dark green leaves serve as the perfect backdrop, for short mounds of richly colored blooms. Magical® Hydrangeas tend to have longer–than-average bloom times, and Cerise is no exception. In its final stages, flowers turn green with high lights of red. What more can we ask for?!
