Hydrangea macrophylla Heartthrob

Cherry red flowers with green marbling

Another magnificent hydrangea from the Magical®️ line, the flowers of this variety are certain to grab your attention. Dark, cherry red blooms are tipped with green for a memorable look.  A compact grower, Magical®️ Triumph will nestle well into the front of a bed or a small garden space. As the flowers mature, they turn to green with hints of red, making this an interesting plant for the patio in 3 of our 4 seasons.
