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 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.
