Endless Summer Hydrangea
Endless Summer Hydrangea recaptures the feeling of a never-ending summer with ‘Endless Summer’, the first Hydrangea macrophylla that blooms on both old and new wood for repeat-blooming color all season long. In addition to repeat blooms, ‘Endless Summer’ is unusually hardy, even in Zone 4 climates (its from Minnesota!). It produces big, showy flower mops – clear pink blooms in alkaline soils and blue blooms in acid soils. Makes an excellent choice for foundation, specimen and shrub or perennial borders.  Also sometimes referred to as Hydrangea 'Bailmer'.

Endless Summer Hydrangea - Planting Instructions
Endless Summer Hydrangea prefers a moist soil (not wet) in a place with afternoon shade and morning sun. If you choose a dry spot with afternoon sun, the hydrangea will wilt and the blossoms will be short lived. If you choose a place that is wet and poorly drained, the hydrangea will eventually perish. If you are concerned that the spot you have chosen may be to dry, I suggest you add Soil Moist granules to the soil. In any event the soil should be amended with compost (1/2 soil, 1/2 compost).

The color of Hydrangea Endless Summer is soil dependent. If you want blue flowers; add a couple of handfuls of aluminum sulphate at planting. If you want pink flowers; use lime. You will probably have to refresh the treatment with a single handful of the desired product each summer. If you want your hydrangea to be pink Chesapeake Blue Crab Compost is the appropriate compost to use at planting. For pink hydrangeas Bulbtone is the fertilizer of choice—a handful at planting, and again in early December and early March. If you want your hydrangea to be blue, use Leaf Gro as your compost. For blue hydrangeas, substitute Holly Tone for Bulbtone

Be sure to plant your hydrangea so that the top of the root ball is a ½ inch below the surface of the soil. Ample watering during the first couple of months is essential. Two inches of shredded tan bark mulch will help preserve soil moisture. For maximum re-blooming be sure to remove the old blooms as soon as they fade.

We believe that Hydrangea Endless Summer will mature at 4 feet tall by 4 feet wide, perhaps a little larger. With such a new plant, never even grown to maturity outside of Minnesota where most plants grow more compact, it’s difficult to be precise. Unlike other macrophylla hydrangeas which can only be pruned just as the flowers fade, Endless Summer can be pruned at any time---although late summer –early fall is probably still preferable.
