Hydrangea paniculata Magical® Matterhorn
Creamy yellow raindrop shaped flowers glisten in the sun.
Just wait until you see the way the light reflects off the flowers of this fabulous new Hydrangea! Matterhorn starts blooming mid-summer with dense flower clusters, shaped like raindrops: fat at the bottom and pointed at the top. They start out lemon-yellow and mature to creamy white. A compact grower, this hydrangea is ideal for smaller spaces or can be planted in groupings for a stellar display. The glistening effect of the sun shining on them is certain to lighten up any garden space

What Makes Me Special?
A shorter selection, but not too short for garden borders with creamy yellow flowers that age to raspberry pink in tate summer.
Landscape Use
Borders, cutting gardens, foundations, hedges, mass plantings, urban gardens
Pruning
No matter where you live, Hydrangea paniculatas can be pruned pretty heavily to keep them small, bushy and full of flowers. In spring, cut them back to half the size of the original plant to encourage branching and more flowers.
