Transform your garden with the Hydrangea paniculata 'Magical Moonlight', a robust deciduous shrub prized for its extraordinary floral display. Belonging to the Hydrangeaceae family, this cultivar is celebrated for its towering cones of lime green and white blooms that light up the garden from July through September.

• Breathtaking Blooms: Expect dense, upright flower heads that start lime green and mature to creamy white, bringing evolving interest through the season.

Growing Guide & Care Tips

• Planting Time: Best planted between autumn and spring while dormant.
• Soil & Location: Prefers moist, fertile, well-drained soil. Tolerates most pH levels but thrives in neutral to slightly acidic conditions.

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist during establishment; mulch annually to retain moisture.
• Pruning: Prune hard in late winter or early spring before new growth appears—this encourages larger flower heads each year.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring as new growth emerges.
