About this plant
The Original Endless Summer Hydrangea revolutionized the gardening world, being the first big leaf hydrangea to reliably bloom on both old and new wood. This groundbreaking characteristic ensures a continuous display of magnificent flowers from spring through fall, even after harsh winters. Enjoy large, vibrant mophead flowers that emerge in classic pink or blue hues, depending on soil pH. Its robust growth and lush green foliage create a stunning focal point in any garden, border, or container planting. Perfect for adding a splash of long-lasting color and old-fashioned charm, this versatile shrub is a must-have for gardeners seeking reliable and reblooming performance.
Care & maintenance
For best results, plant in well-drained, organically rich soil. Prune only to remove dead or weak wood in early spring; extensive pruning is not necessary due to its ability to bloom on new wood. Fertilize in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants. Mulch generously to retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
