Sen sommer, nye farger: dette skjer nå med din Magical Hydrangea

Summer isn’t over yet, but the garden is slowly beginning to change colour. The light is becoming softer, the evenings are drawing in a little earlier, and you may already be noticing the change in your plants. The fresh colours of early summer are gradually giving way to deeper, warmer shades.

With a Magical Hydrangea, this transformation is particularly special. At the beginning of summer, you may have been enjoying fresh pink, blue or green flowers, only to find that your hydrangea looks completely different a few months later.

And that is exactly what is meant to happen.
 

Your hydrangea is changing. And that’s all part of it.

When you notice your hydrangea changing colour, it may seem as though the flowers have already had their best days. But with a Magical Hydrangea, this is actually the beginning of a new phase. The plant is far from finished flowering and will continue to develop and bloom well into autumn.

Influenced by daylight, the flowers gradually continue to develop. The transformation doesn’t happen overnight, but slowly takes place throughout the long flowering period. During this time, a Magical Hydrangea can even change colour up to three times.

That’s exactly what makes these months such a wonderful time to take a closer look at your hydrangea. You might suddenly notice a darker edge around a flower, a deeper shade at its centre or a colour that wasn’t there at all just a few weeks ago.
 

Every Magical has its own colour story

Every Magical Hydrangea goes through its own unique colour development throughout the season. Magical Evolution, for example, may start with pink or blue flowers before transitioning through another shade and eventually turning a beautiful green with a red edge. Magical Jewel also reveals new, deeper shades as the flowering season progresses.

Magical Green Delight takes a more subtle approach, developing within a palette of greens. Its flowers change from a lighter shade to increasingly deep green tones, while Magical Greenfire combines red and green in a unique way, taking on warmer colours as autumn approaches.

This gives every garden hydrangea its own character. Across the different hydrangea varieties, a surprising palette of colours emerges, with every stage revealing something new.
 

Give your patio a late-summer feel

Late summer is the perfect time to give your patio or balcony a small update. Move a pot a little closer to your seating area, add a few hardy balcony plants or create different heights using a selection of pots.

As the evenings begin to get darker a little earlier, a few lanterns or candles instantly add extra atmosphere. Combine the changing colours of your hydrangea with flowering garden plants, terracotta, wood and other natural materials, using the plant as the starting point for your styling.

The result is a warmer atmosphere and a colourful garden that perfectly suits this time of year.
 

What does your hydrangea need right now?

Although summer is slowly drawing to a close, your hydrangea is still in full bloom. That’s why it’s important to keep an eye on the moisture level of the soil, especially during warm and dry days.

A garden hydrangea that is still flowering abundantly needs plenty of water to stay healthy and continue developing. Water preferably at the base of the plant and avoid letting the soil dry out completely. Hydrangeas grown in pots, in particular, need a little extra attention on hot days.

And if you notice the flowers changing colour, don’t remove them simply because they look different from how they did at the beginning of summer. This transformation is an important part of the remarkable flowering period of a Magical Hydrangea.
 

Let late summer bloom

The garden is slowly changing, but there is still so much to enjoy outdoors. It is precisely during this period that a Magical Hydrangea reveals another side of itself.
