Hydrangea paniculata Magical® Matterhorn

Creamy yellow raindrop shaped flowers glisten in the sun.

Just wait until you see the way the light reflects off the flowers of this fabulous new Hydrangea! Matterhorn starts blooming mid-summer with dense flower clusters, shaped like raindrops: fat at the bottom and pointed at the top. They start out lemon-yellow and mature to creamy white. A compact grower, this hydrangea is ideal for smaller spaces or can be planted in groupings for a stellar display. The glistening effect of the sun shining on them is certain to lighten up any garden space

Pruning
