Magical Ruby SnowHydrangea is a compact deciduous shrub with a mounded habit that flowers new wood. The heavy cone-shaped panicles arch the branches as they bloom white and mature to ruby pink, from midsummer until frost attracting butterflies. While it can tolerate full sun, its best blooms are in part sun and rich, moist well-drained acidic soils.
