Hydrangea Magic Revolution

• Originally developed from Asian hydrangea species, this revolutionary variety combines the best traits of multiple hydrangea types. The Magic Revolution series represents years of careful breeding for enhanced colour variation.
• Features large, full flower heads that can display pink, blue, purple, and green tones simultaneously depending on soil conditions. Flowers emerge in spring and continue through to early winter in mild climates.
• Grows as a rounded, deciduous shrub with sturdy stems that support heavy flower clusters without staking. Attractive serrated leaves provide good backdrop for the spectacular blooms.
• Beloved by gardeners for its reliable flowering, low maintenance requirements, and ability to create stunning cut flower arrangements. The colour-changing feature makes each plant unique in the landscape.

• Water 2-3 times weekly during spring and summer, reducing to weekly in cooler months - soil should be moist but never waterlogged. Deep, infrequent watering encourages strong root development.
• Plant in morning sun with afternoon shade, particularly in hot inland areas - coastal gardens can tolerate more sun exposure. Protection from harsh western sun prevents leaf scorch.
• Use well-draining, organic-rich soil with neutral to slightly acidic pH for best colour development - add compost annually to improve soil structure. Mulch around base to retain moisture.
• Feed monthly during growing season with balanced fertiliser, switching to low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus in late summer - this promotes flower bud formation for next season. Avoid over-fertilising with nitrogen.
• Prune lightly after flowering in late autumn, removing spent blooms and weak growth - avoid heavy pruning which reduces next year's flowers. Shape plant gradually over several seasons.
• Maintain humidity around plant with mulch and avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal issues - morning watering allows leaves to dry quickly.

• Provide morning sun with afternoon shade protection, especially in hot Australian climates - 4-6 hours of direct sunlight is ideal. Too much afternoon sun can scorch leaves and fade flowers.
• Water deeply 2-3 times weekly during growing season, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when plant is dormant.
• Maintain consistent moisture and humidity around the plant with organic mulch - this helps regulate soil temperature and prevents stress. Mist foliage in dry weather.
• Plant thrives in temperatures between 15-25°C - protect from harsh winds and extreme heat. In winter, plants can tolerate light frosts once established.
• Prune after flowering finishes in late autumn to encourage next season's blooms - remove spent flowers and shape plant as needed.

• Aphids can cluster on new growth and flower buds - spray with insecticidal soap or encourage beneficial insects like ladybirds. Check undersides of leaves regularly during spring growth.
• Powdery mildew appears as white patches on leaves in humid conditions - improve air circulation and avoid overhead watering. Remove affected leaves promptly.
• Overwatering causes yellowing leaves and root rot - ensure good drainage and allow soil to dry slightly between waterings. Mulch helps regulate soil moisture.
• Scale insects create sticky honeydew on stems and leaves - treat with horticultural oil or systemic insecticide. Prune out heavily infested branches.
