'Magical® Ruby Red' offers bold colors on both foliage and flower. Emergent foliage has a deep red hue that matures to deep green. Mophead flowers bloom pink and fade to deep red. As a repeat-bloomer, this Hydrangeas offers two rounds of blooms, first in early summer, and again in late summer/early fall. Great for borders, containers, mass plantings, or as a specimen. Mophead flowers also work in cut arrangements, both fresh and dried.
Full sun - part shade. Average, moist, well-draining soil. Zone 5-9.
Attracts pollinators, drought tolerant once established, deer resistant.
Blooms on old and new wood - if desired, dead head immediately after flowers fade in fall.
