Bigleaf Hydrangea, French Hydrangea, Mophead Hydrangea
I am very disappointed with this product (2 skinny branches, one measuring 5 cm (2in) and the other less than 10 cm (4in), with a few leafs (7 or 8 in total, half damaged). Please see the photos I sent on Messenger, taken in the order of the function. I am very disappointed considering the price of this item. For the same quality, I paid £5 for a young hydrangea plant from another supplier. I was expecting a taller, leafier plant.

Description
The Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Magical Crimson’ is a beautiful hybrid plant that adds a vibrant brick-red hue to its group. Its flowers are soft, dark red pompoms that gradually change to red-pink mixed with grey-red and bright green before fading to softer tones. This plant blooms generously throughout the summer and is perfect for creating fresh or dry bouquets. It has a compact habit and is suitable for growing in large containers or shaded flower beds in non-limestone soil. Additionally, it is very hardy and can withstand harsh weather conditions.
Hydrangea macrophylla, from which 'Magical Ruby Crimson' is derived, belongs to the Hydrangeaceae family, originating from China and Japan. 'Magical Ruby Crimson' is part of a series of varieties selected for their flowers changing colour throughout the season. It is a very hardy bush with a compact habit, wider than tall, 100 cm (39.4 in) in height and 120 cm in spread. It could reach 1.25 m in height in 10 years, depending on the cultivation conditions. In June, tiny flowers form dense bouquets in rich, red pompoms, with a little white-pink bud at their heart. Then, these charming flower heads will turn to fuchsia red mixed with black-grey, evolve towards fuchsia pink mixed with green leaf, and then fade, in early autumn, into a texture resembling paper. They then take on soft, old, pink and pale green hues. The flowering is accompanied by dark green, deciduous foliage. The leaves are opposite; they reach a minimum of ten centimetres in length. They are single, ovate to elliptical, dentate, ending in a sharp point.
With excellent hardiness, hydrangeas are well known for brightening up the north side of houses. This one will thrive in flower beds as well as hedges. This variety is particularly suited to container cultivation, which can be placed on the terrace or near the entrance. Even if these plants are not fond of limestone, they are not strictly ericaceous plants. Pair them with magellanica fuchsias, annual impatiens, or plant spring flowering bulbs in front of their round silhouette. Enjoy its beautiful, long-lasting flowers in the garden or at home in bouquets.

Planting and care
To grow a hydrangea macrophylla 'Magical Crimson', plant it during spring or early autumn in a shaded location. It can be planted against an East-facing wall or even to the North. Make sure to protect it from cold and drying winds. Although it does not necessarily require ericaceous soil, it prefers deep, fresh, well-drained, and fairly fertile soil. You may enrich the soil with a good fertiliser before planting. If the soil is dry at the base of the wall, place the root ball at least 30-40 cm (11.8-15.7 in) away from the base and mix in some well-rotted compost to help retain moisture. This plant is very hardy and can withstand cold regions.

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).
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 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.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
