This compact hydrangea is grown for its long-lasting, pure white blooms and neat, mounded form. Reaching 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, it fits well in small gardens and containers.

Blooms appear in early summer, covering the plant in large, rounded flower heads that stay bright white before fading to soft green. Its dark green foliage contrasts beautifully with the flowers. In Kansas, it prefers afternoon shade and some morning sun. It will need supplemental water on hot days. It prefers rich, well-draining, evenly moist soil and benefits from mulch to retain moisture.

Regular deadheading encourages continuous blooming. It can be pruned lightly in early spring to maintain shape. Magical Bride Hydrangea is excellent for borders, foundation plantings, containers, or mass plantings for a bright summer display.
