Endless Summer® Hydrangeas

About

Endless Summer® Hydrangea: The Original Reblooming Mophead Collection Endless Summer® Hydrangea ( Hydrangea macrophylla ) revolutionized what gardeners expect from bigleaf hydrangeas. These reblooming hydrangeas flower on both old and new wood, delivering continuous mophead blooms from late spring through fall instead of the single flush traditional varieties produce. Before Endless Summer hit the market, gardeners in zones 4 and 5 struggled with bigleaf hydrangeas. A harsh winter or late frost would kill flower buds on old wood, leaving nothing but foliage for the entire season. The Endless Summer collection solved this problem. Even after winter dieback, these everblooming hydrangeas produce flowers on new growth, so you get blooms regardless of what winter throws at them. Endless Summer® Hydrangea Size and Growth Habit Endless Summer Hydrangeas reach 3 to 5 feet tall and wide at maturity, making them ideal for foundation plantings, mixed borders, and garden beds along the foundation. Their rounded, mounding growth habit creates a full, lush appearance without aggressive spreading. For smaller spaces, Summer Crush stays compact at 18 to 36 inches tall and wide. These hydrangeas grow at a moderate rate, typically adding 6 to 12 inches per year once established. Most varieties reach their mature size within 3 to 5 years. Can Endless Summer Hydrangeas Grow in Full Sun? In northern zones (4-6), Endless Summer Hydrangeas thrive in full sun to partial shade, handling 6 or more hours of direct sunlight without issue. In southern zones (7-9), morning sun with afternoon shade protects blooms from scorching and extends flower life. These are among the more sun-tolerant hydrangeas available, though consistent moisture is essential when growing in full sun locations. The Endless Summer® Hydrangea Collection The Original Endless Summer Hydrangea started the reblooming revolution with classic blue or pink mophead flowers up to 8 inches across.
