Hydrangea paniculata ‘Magical Himalaya’ is a stunning deciduous shrub, admired for its large, conical flower panicles that emerge creamy white, transitioning to soft pink as summer fades. This long-flowering variety blooms from July to September, bringing months of elegant beauty to the garden. With a height and spread of 1.5-2m, it makes a fantastic feature plant for borders, woodland gardens, and large patio containers.

For best results, plant in a sunny or partially shaded position with moist, well-drained soil. This variety thrives in fertile, humus-rich conditions and adapts well to various soil types. The best time to plant is autumn to early spring, giving it time to establish before the growing season. Apply a slow-release fertiliser in early spring and again in midsummer to encourage lush growth and prolific flowering. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain its shape and promote larger flower panicles.

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Magical Himalaya’ is excellent for pollinators, as its nectar-rich flowers attract bees and butterflies, supporting biodiversity and bringing beneficial wildlife into the garden. With its changing blooms, low-maintenance nature, and pollinator-friendly benefits, it is a superb choice for adding structure and seasonal interest to any outdoor space.
