Hydrangea macrophylla Magical® Red Amethyst
You’re going to love the amazing color combination and long-lasting flowers of Red Amethyst! Fuchsia-red blooms, with hints of lime green will energize and refresh your garden space with their bright, display of color. An ideal selection for gifting, Red Amethyst is a Hydrangea that keeps on giving. Strong stems and dark-green leaves provide structure for the ever-changing, hard blooms, which darken to vintage colors of red and green as they mature. Enjoy in a container or plant in a favorite outdoor space, but don’t forget to harvest a few stems for your indoor arrangements – if treated well, blooms can last a month or more in a vase! With so many uses for Red Amethyst…you just might need more than one! Pruning: Prune to shape by taking the dead stems before plant leaves out in spring Apply 3-6” of organic mulch after pruning.
