Hydrangea macrophylla Magical® Amethyst
150 DAYS OF COLOR!
We know you will love the long lasting, strong flowers of the Magical® Everlasting series with their variety of colors, handsome foliage, and long-lasting flowers. As the flowers age, they change from one exciting color to the next. You will enjoy many colors at one time as each flower lasts for months. Each stem is a bouquet, and even a young plant will give you months of blooming enjoyment. Amethyst has sturdy, long lasting flowers held high on thick, upright stems that begin pink or blue and age to fuchsia pink or violet blue, depending on the acidity of the soil. The flowers last for weeks on the plant or in a vase in their final color, lime green, a new favorite of many brides. You’ll want this beautiful new selection in your garden for viewing and for cutting year after year.
