No other midsummer hydrangea holds a “candle” (pun intended) to this panicle hydrangea, with its lantern-like flowers and tall, sturdy stems. The substantial flower heads of Magical Candle Hydrangea look lit from within, with a soft lamplight-yellow glow that veers toward red as the flower matures. Blooms are held aloft on strong, erect stems, and are excellent for drying. Use for fresh cuts, dried arrangements, home dcor or holiday decorations. This medium-size hydrangea works well in mixed borders, hedges, as a foundation plant and in cutting gardens. Magical Candle blooms on new wood, making pruning easy. Best pruned in late winter/early spring. Hydrangea paniculata ‘Bokraflame’ PP22111
