The bluest of blues!

Hydrangea macrophylla Magical® Bluebells

Bluer than the bluest of blues, the rich, saturated color of this hydrangea is unparalleled. A re-bloomer with great application in the garden as well as a gift plant and in containers.

Bluer than the bluest of blues, the rich, saturated color of this Hydrangea is unparalleled. Flowers show their first hint of color in May/June and continue through the summer with new blooms that open to refresh the old ones. Its commanding presence makes it ideal for the patio or in a bed along a garden path where it won’t be missed. Magical® Bluebells also makes an excellent gift plant, offering months of performance for someone special. Let’s just come out with it…this is one Hydrangea that’s nearly impossible to be without! Note: This variety must be treated with aluminum sulphate to attain the intense blue color.
