Endless Summer Hydrangea
|
This outstanding hydrangea is the first ever repeat- blooming macrophylla in the industry. It is especially hardy and is the first hydrangea that will bloom on both old and new wood, providing blooming color all season.
Its mop- head type flowers are big and showy, up to eight inches in diameter. The striking blooms are clear pink in soils with poor aluminum uptake (typically alkaline soil) and blue in acidic soils with sufficient aluminum.
By cutting back to half the emerging growth, the amount of blooms is significantly increased. Deadheading will promote blooms from April through October in warmer regions, and June through frost in colder areas.
The mature plant will reach three to five feet in height and width with a full, well-rounded shape. It's ideal as a shrub for mass plantings, or a specimen plant. Works very well in containers. Will take morning sun, but thrives best in a dappled or shaded place in the garden. Moist, well-drained setting.
