Hydrangea Macrophylla 'Endless Summer' is a fast and moderate growing shrub that can be grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 4A through 9B. It matures to an average height of 3 feet to 4 feet and an average width of 3 feet to 4 feet, depending on climate and other environmental factors. It prefers growing in a location that provides shade, morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun and grows best when planted in sand, loam, clay or silt soil that is moderately drained. In the spring, summer and fall Endless Summer Hydrangea produces pink and blue flowers. The foliage is medium green in color. It attracts visual attention and is resistant to deer and insects.

Endless Summer Hydrangea can be useful in the landscape along woodland borders, in mass plantings, in foundation plantings, in containers or planters, in shrub borders, around decks, swimming pools, and other outdoor living areas, as an accent, under a shade tree, as a focal point or in landscape beds or islands and also in cottage gardens, perennial gardens or shade gardens.

Noteworthy Characteristics

Endless Summer provides beautiful, 8-inch diameter, blue flowers all summer long and deep into fall. It is equally hardy as it is beautiful. We have yet to find a mophead hydrangea that stands up to the heat as well as the Endless Summer. The magnificent flowers, held on sturdy upright stems, grow up to 8 inches in diameter. Flower color is up to you. If you want blue flowers provide an acidic soil. If you want pink flowers provide an alkaline soil. 

Uses

Use Endless Summer Hydrangea in the landscape as a single specimen, in small groupings, in flowering shrub borders, as a colorful natural hedge, as an accent in home foundation plantings, in containers, or in shady p[erennial or cottage gardens.

Culture & Care Tips

Unlike other mophead hydrangea, you can prune the Endless Summer hydrangeas at any time of year, though we recommend a late winter pruning and a deadheading (removal of faded flowers) after its first flush of blooms have faded. Though it will tolerate quite a bit of sun, we've found that Endless Summer Hydrangea performs best when provided shade during the hottest part of the afternoon, particularly in the hotter climate in the South. We recommend at least 5 to 6 hours of sun or all-day filtered sun for best flower production.
