Description
The Hydrangea macrophylla 'Summer Green', like other varieties in the 'Magical' series, has magical flowers with changing tones. The flowers form round groups and change colour from green to red and green before fading to softer shades of red and green mixed with white. Its generous flowering lasts all summer. It is perfect for making fresh or dry bouquets. Its compact habit is well suited to cultivating in large containers or shaded massifs in non-limestone soil.
Hydrangea macrophylla, from which 'Summer Green' is derived, belongs to the Hydrangeaceae family, native to China and Japan. 'Summer Green' is part of a series of varieties selected for their flowers, which change colour throughout the season. It is a hardy bush with a compact habit, wider than tall, 100 cm (39.4 in) high and 120 cm (47.2 in) wide. It can reach 1.25 m in height in 10 years, depending on the growing conditions. In June, the tiny flowers form dense bouquets of pom-poms of pale green to chartreuse mixed with white, with a little pink bud in their heart. Then, these charming flower heads will turn to a burning red mixed with emerald green, then fade, in early autumn, into a texture that resembles that of paper. They then take on hot pink, green and white tones. The flowering is accompanied by dark green, deciduous leaves. The leaves are opposite; they reach a minimum of ten centimetres in length. They are single, ovate to elliptical, ending in a pointed tip.
Of excellent hardiness, hydrangeas are well known for brightening up the north side of houses. This one will thrive in flower beds as well as in hedges. This variety is particularly suitable for container cultivation, which can be positioned on a terrace or near the entrance of a property. Even though these plants are not fond of limestone, they are not, strictly speaking, ericaceous plants. Pair them with magellanica fuchsias, annual impatiens, or plant spring-flowering bulbs in front of their round silhouette. Enjoy its beautiful and long-lasting flowers in the garden or at home in bouquets.

Planting and care
Hydrangea macrophylla Magical 'Summer Green' should be planted in spring or early autumn, preferably in a shaded spot like against an east-facing wall or even north. It can tolerate the morning sun well, but cold and drying winds should be avoided. The plant doesn't necessarily require ericaceous compost but appreciates deep, fresh, well-drained, relatively fertile soil. Before planting, it's advisable to enrich the soil with good fertiliser. If the soil is dry at the foot of the wall, place the root ball at least 30 to 40 cm (11.8 or 15.7 in) from the base of the wall and incorporate a quantity of well-rotted compost to better retain moisture in the soil. This hardy plant can be grown in cold regions without any problems.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
