Discovered
by Bailey Nurseries of St. Paul, Minnesota, one of the largest
wholesale nurseries in the United States, endless summer hydrangea
will reach three to five feet in height with a full, well-rounded
shape. The endless summer hydrangea is an ideal shrub for
mass plantings, or as a specimen plant. It will take morning
sun, but thrive best in a shaded place in the garden. The
endless summer hydrangea prefers moist, well-drained soil.
The endless
summer hydrangea requires a regular watering schedule during
the first growing season in order to establish a deep, extensive
root system. The foliage of an endless summer hydrangea shrub
is medium to deep green, and mildew resistant. Removal of
old blooms will result in a repeat bloom, which can result
in continual blooms from mid spring until the first frost.

| One
of the most impressive qualities of the endless summer hydrangea
is that it is so hardy. A member of the hydrangea macrophylla
family, it is the only one that can withstand such cold temperatures.
The endless summer hydrangea is the most versatile hydrangea,
and also the most desired.
