🔥 Deep pink flowers flamed with green • 🎨 Changes to green edged with red • 📅 Flowers until the first frosts • ☀️ Sun to partial shade • ❄️ Hardy • 🪴 Very robust
Hydrangea macrophylla Magical® Greenfire is the most graphic hydrangea in the Magical® series: its deep pink petals bear green flames, then the flower shifts to green edged with red at the end of the season. A European horticultural selection (the Netherlands), grown at the Kolster nursery, it joins the hardy and resilient plants in the catalog thanks to its tolerance of sun, rain and cold.
While most hydrangeas scorch in full sun, Greenfire can handle a sunny position all day if watering is adequate. Delivered 55 cm tall in a 23 cm pot with 6 to 10 flower heads, it is deep pink flamed with green in midsummer, then turns green edged with red in autumn, right through to the first frosts.
Which hydrangea should you choose?
The Hydrangea varieties in the catalog do not all have the same flowering or uses:
- Magical® Greenfire (this plant) — pink flamed with green. The most tolerant of full sun.
- Forever & Ever® — repeat-flowering: it blooms again on the current year's shoots, even after a harsh winter or incorrect pruning. The safest choice for flowering every year.
- Magical® Revolution — flowers that change color from July to October, a variety awarded by the Royal Horticultural Society. The most spectacular in late summer.
- Magical® Jewel — starts lime green and ends purple-red. The most contrasting in the series.
- Magical® Noblesse — almond green, then pure white, then bright green. The best suited to shade.
- Magical® Ruby Tuesday — from green to intense red. The deepest red in the series.
- 'Strong Annabelle' — Hydrangea arborescens with large flower heads on sturdy stems, cut back hard every winter. The hardiest.
- Hydrangea petiolaris — the only climber, for dressing a wall in the shade.
Light & location
Greenfire is one of the few hydrangeas that can tolerate full sun. Sun even intensifies the late-season red edge, provided the substrate never dries out completely.
- Exposure: sun to partial shade — facing due south, water daily in hot weather.
- Location: terrace, balcony, entrance, edge of a path, sheltered from strong winds.
- Hardiness in a pot: hardy — a winter fleece in very cold weather protects the buds.
- Soil type: moist, rich, neutral to slightly acidic.
In the morning sun, the green flames stand out clearly against the pink; in the midday sun, the red edges take center stage.
Watering & care
A hydrangea exposed to the sun drinks more than one in the shade: testing the substrate with your finger each day in summer prevents it from drying out, and browning leaf edges are the first sign of a lack of water.
- Watering: generous and regular — every day in the sun during hot weather, two to three times a week in partial shade.
- Water: tap water is suitable.
- Fertilizer: fertilizer for flowering plants, from March to July.
- Pruning: simply remove the faded flowers after winter, in March.
- Repotting: into a wider pot the following spring, using compost for flowering plants.
A bark mulch on the pot limits evaporation and allows you to space out watering in full sun.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
Its two-tone pink and green coloring catches the eye from afar: it finds its place on a balcony in full sun, where other hydrangeas would not survive.
- For a red echo, place a standard Photinia 'Carré Rouge' behind it — its young red shoots pick up the edging of the flowers higher up, and it stays evergreen in winter.
- To dress the base, plant a Carex 'Ice Dance' around the edge of the pot — its fine foliage extends the green of the flames.
- For a light backdrop, plant a Fargesia rufa — a non-running bamboo whose soft green highlights the mass of the two-tone flowers.
- To enhance the pot, choose the anthracite Capi Nature Skin pot — the dark gray brings out both the pink and the green.
At the end of the season, its green flowers edged in red make highly graphic dried autumn bouquets.
Verdeia tips
- Enjoy its sun tolerance: this is the hydrangea to choose for a sunny terrace. Plants that withstand heatwaves get through the hottest summers with a few simple steps.
- Let the flowers evolve: the transition from pink flamed with green to green edged in red takes several weeks. Cutting the flowers too early removes this second life.
- Protect it from severe cold: in a pot, winter fleece during prolonged frosts protects the buds that will bloom the following summer.

Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.

What should I do when my plant arrives?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
