Hydrangea Magical® Amazone Bigleaf Hydrangea

Experience the enchanting beauty of Magical® Amazone, a captivating bigleaf hydrangea that adds year-round interest to your garden landscape. This compact deciduous shrub is a classic favorite, renowned for its exquisite season-long floral display. Blooming on both old and new wood throughout the summer, Magical® Amazone offers dependable flowering even in cooler climates, with the possibility of reblooming in warmer regions.

The large mopheads of Magical® Amazone are dense with tight clusters of dainty, cup-shaped florets, initially pink with green tips, which gracefully transition to a blend of dusty violet-purple and green hues as they age, adding a lovely antiqued appearance to the blooms. In acidic soils, the florets take on shades of blue, providing a delightful color variation.

Adorned with fleshy, medium green foliage on long, sturdy stems, the long-lasting flowers of Magical® Amazone have a delicate, lacy appearance that softens garden spaces and makes exquisite cuts for both fresh and dried arrangements.

As the seasons change, Magical® Amazone continues to impress. After the first frost, the flower clusters transform to shades of tan and caramel, adding a textural element to the winter garden. Alongside the peeling papery brown bark on mature plants, which reveals glimpses of the underlying cinnamon hue of stems and branches, Magical® Amazone adds visual interest, especially against a backdrop of snow.

With its compact, multi-stemmed growth habit and rapid growth rate, Magical® Amazone is an ideal choice for small-space urban gardens. It thrives when massed in beds, borders, or cutting gardens, and also makes a striking container or specimen plant.

Easy to grow and maintain, Magical® Amazone prefers locations with some morning sun and afternoon shade, rich, well-draining soil, and consistent moisture. This shade-friendly shrub can tolerate more sun if the soil is kept consistently moist.

With its ability to change colors based on soil pH, turning pink in alkaline soil and blue in acidic soils, Magical® Amazone offers versatile beauty for any garden setting. Whether it's for birthdays, housewarmings, or any occasion, this pink hydrangea variety is sure to delight as a popular gift choice, embodying charm and elegance with its stunning blooms.
