Ideal for smaller spaces, Hydrangea serrata 'Magic Pillow' grows to only 50cm high making it perfect for small borders, containers or low, spreading ground cover. From July until September, this dwarf hydrangea forms pillowy mounds smothered in lace-cap flowers in blue or pink depending on soil pH. ‘Magic Pillow’ is a rewarding, low-maintenance shrub, perfect for delivering structure and colour to shady areas. In addition to its flowers, it has a second season of interest in the autumn when the foliage adopts red and purple tints. Height: 50cm (20in). Spread: 1m (39in).

Water regularly until plants are fully established. Leave the faded hydrangea flower heads in place until the new buds swell in spring to protect the delicate buds from frost damage. In early spring, dead head the old flowers, cutting them back to a pair of healthy buds just below.
In late winter or early spring remove one or two of the oldest stems to the base. This will encourage the development of new, replacement shoots and keep the shrub productive.
After pruning hydrangeas, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or compost around the base of the plant. Caution: Contact with hydrangea foliage may irritate the skin and eyes and all parts are harmful if eaten.

Thompson & Morgan strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3
