Description
Endless Summer Original Hydrangea provides an abundance of large (up to 8-inch diameter), bold and beautiful blue, purple or pink flower clusters that repeat in cycles during summer and into fall. Flower color is up to you. If you want blue flowers provide an acidic soil. If you want pink flowers provide a neutral to alkaline soil. Anything in between makes purple. This Hydrangea is equally hardy as it is beautiful. The most heat tolerant of all the H. macrophylla (mophead hydrangeas) in our gardens.

Growing to 4 feet tall and wide, the Endless Summer Original Hydrangea is useful as an accent, in small groupings, or as a colorful hedge in home foundation plantings and landscape borders. It is also highly suitable for container culture and is ideal for use in cottage and cut flower gardens as well as blue theme gardens.

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Planting Zone 4a, where this Hydrangea variety is not winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Endless Summer Hydrangea are easy to grow in most any average, moist but well-drained soil. You choose the flower color. An acid soil will create blue flowers while a neutral to alkaline soil creates pink flowers. Anything in between makes purple. Learn more about soil pH and how to adjust it. The plants will tolerate full sun in northern zones however appreciate some afternoon shade or filtered sun in warmer southern zones. We recommend at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day or all day lightly filtered sun for best flowering.
Note: Endless Summer is an everblooming Hydrangea macrophylla species that produces its flowers from buds formed on both new and old wood.

Hi Guys,
Last week I put the plants in the planter boxes after amending the soil so am hoping I’ve done a good job of it. They arrived well packed and looked very healthy. I’m trying my best and watching them carefully. Will let you know their progress.
Thanks for keeping in touch.

I ordered 3 one gallon size Endless Summer Hydrangeas
I was needlessly concerned about the packaging. They were packed perfectly with safety in mind for the plants.
Follow the directions and the plants will be fine.
I was worried about one, a bit wilty. I took photos after unpacking and photos the following day and sent them to Wilson.
I had an immediate response that was helpful with advice and they included more links for information.
They have been planted for 2 weeks and are doing fine.
I would not hesitate to use Wilson again for all my future plantings.——————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I am writing this review a little early, as the hydrangeas we planted from Wilson Bros. have only been in the ground for about 3 weeks. However, so far we are 1) REALLY pleased with how easy it was to order, 2) how quickly the plants arrived (sooner than promised), 3) how immaculately packed and preserved the plants were . . . no damage of course, 4) how healthy the plants look and how quickly they are growing, having followed the online planting tips from Wilson Bros., and finally, 5) how happy my wife Vickie is with the hydrangeas! She has long wanted some, so she is excited and can’t wait until they bloom!——————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope your wife enjoys them for years to come!

They came in nice packaging and packaged well too! They even earlier than I thought they would. I also wasn’t home for 2 days when they got delivered and they were able to withstand the cold.————————————We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase!

I gave this to my daughter. Arrived in great shape. They are in a new house so they need to fix up their garden before planting it. She is very happy with it.————————————-Thanks for the photo.

Our Endless Summer Hydrangea 1 gallon plant arrived quickly and it was in great condition. You could see the new growth beginning. I planted it the next day and it has been in the ground two weeks and is putting on new leaves almost daily. We can’t wait to enjoy it this Summer.

My hydrangeas arrived quickly and were very well wrapped, watered, and packaged. I immediately planted all four in very rich soil adjacent to my home. They look very healthy and seem to be just waiting for the spring sun. I see some very small areas of healthy green leaflets just waiting on some sunny weather!. Very happy!————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
This purchase was to replace a hydrangea I had bought from another online retailer that ended up dying shortly after being planted. This hydrangea arrived in perfect condition. It has now been planted for almost three weeks and is doing great! It has buds and new shoots that are starting to sprout. I would definitely by from this site again.———————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
Plant arrived in excellent condition. I was impressed with the size of the plant and the fact that it already had buds on it! Looking forward to the blooms.
I received my 3 plants in a very timely manner all looking alive and well packaged and much bigger than expected! I can’t wait to see these grow and hopefully develop some blooms this year.
