Hydrangea Endless Summer The Original

Hydrangea Endless Summer The Original is a plant that revolutionized the garden world. The Original is the first macrophylla hydrangea to bloom on both old and new wood. This means you get a reliable, prolific display of massive mophead blooms from early summer all the way through fall. Whether your soil produces sky-blue or bubblegum-pink flowers, this hardy variety brings classic, effortless elegance to any landscape.

• Flowers: Massive mophead blooms; color is soil-pH dependent (Blue in acidic soil, Pink in alkaline soil).

• Reblooming: Flowers on both "old wood" (previous year) and "new wood" (current year) for an extended season.

• Growth: Mounded habit; matures to 3–5' tall and 3–5' wide.

• Light: Best in part shade (morning sun and afternoon shade is ideal, especially in warmer climates).

• Water: High water needs; prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil. Do not allow to dry out completely.

• Hardiness: Exceptionally hardy for a bigleaf hydrangea; USDA Zones 5–9.

• Landscape Use: Perfect for mixed borders, foundation plantings, or as a centerpiece in large containers.

• Pro Tip: To keep the blooms coming, "deadhead" spent flowers by cutting the stems just above the first set of leaves. This encourages the plant to put its energy into producing the next round of spectacular blooms!
