Hydrangea ‘Blue Magical Revolution’

Common Name:
Hydrangea 'Blue Magical Revolution'

Description:
Hydrangea ‘Blue Magical Revolution’ is a compact, repeat-flowering mophead hydrangea renowned for its captivating blue blooms that evolve in colour as the season progresses. Starting as vibrant blue in spring, the flowers gradually take on tones of purple, pink, and green, delivering a long-lasting display that changes week to week. This variety is especially noted for its ability to bloom on both old and new wood, resulting in a longer flowering period that can extend from spring well into autumn. Ideal for Melbourne gardens, it thrives in part shade with protection from harsh afternoon sun and benefits from consistently moist, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. The blue colour is best preserved in acidic soils, and regular feeding will help maintain the intensity of the hues. With its compact habit, it’s perfect for smaller garden beds, containers, or mass plantings where reliable, changing colour is desired throughout the growing season.
