Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Light My Fire’ is a striking, colour-transforming variety that captures attention throughout the seasons. The bold mophead blooms begin as lime green before evolving into a stunning bicolour display. In autumn, the foliage takes on vibrant red and gold hues, while the faded flowers provide sculptural interest in winter. This compact, well-branched shrub is perfect for patio pots or borders and should be placed in a prominent spot to showcase its beauty. Height and spread: 120cm (48″). Hydrangea macrophylla prefers a sunny or semi shaded position, with shelter from cold, drying winds. Grow hydrangea plants in any rich fertile, moist soil. Improve the soil prior to planting by adding with plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost, ensuring that it is mixed in thoroughly and deeply. Alternatively plant hydrangea macrophylla in patio containers in soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3.
