How to Use The Original Endless Summer® Hydrangea in the Landscape This wonderfully showy, smaller landscape plant has gained the respect of landscape architects over a wide range of hardiness zones. Large rounded flowers begin blooming in late spring and continue to be showy right into winter. Use The Original Endless Summer® Hydrangeas as lovely foundation plants. They look wonderful when flanking either side of a front entrance. They are amazing when repeated across the middle of your mixed shrub borders. Include them in your perennial gardens to add bold texture and bright color all season long. You can also plant them in large containers. Decorate your entryway, use it on the pool deck or patio, or move them around anywhere you need a pop of color. They'll give you armloads of blooms for cut flower arrangements, too. Try planting The Original Endless Summer® Hydrangeas as smaller informal hedges for a phenomenal look. Use along a walkway or fence to easily boost the charm! For a tight, solid hedge, plant them 2 - 3 feet apart on center. Measure from the center of one to the center of the next. You can also stagger the planting for a larger impact. Use a double row, planted in a zig-zagging pattern. Take that concept a step further by creating a colorful mass planting to cover a wide, open area. Zig-zag the planting pattern and keep the bed weeded until the plants grow together. A simple trim in late winter is a small task to pay for the incredible show they put on.

Or try Limelight Hydrangea for steady lemon-lime blooms regardless of pH! #ProPlantTips for Care Growing in USDA zones 4 through 9, the Original Endless Summer® Hydrangea is a nice size shrub with showy, rounded mop head flowers when grown with a few simple requirements. It grows best with morning sun access to dry the leaves. Planted in well-drained, slightly acidic and evenly moist soil. For the best display of leaf and flower color, give them an even amount of water regularly each week. Dry spells will cause leaf and flower browning. In warmer climates, please select your planting site carefully to protect plants from the extremely hot afternoon sun. In the warmest summers, full sun in the afternoon might scorch these pretty plants. The east side of a building or fence is usually a good option. Or, give them a spot where they will receive partial shade from a larger tree. Each year, just as they start growing, trim the old flower heads back to healthy buds along that stem and any broken or damaged branches. Be patient with The Original Endless Summer® Hydrangeas in early spring. They do require warmer soil and air temperatures to start growing. The bloom color will depend on soil conditions. Test the pH level of your soil. Want pink blooms? Add lime following directions to increase alkalinity. Want blue flowers? Add Sulphur to slowly drop the acidity and use Dr. Earth Acid Lovers Organic and Natural Premium Fertilizer in early spring and around the 4th of July. Use pine bark mulch which will slowly break down and help increase soil acidity. In Zones 4 and 5, provide extra mulch late in the fall. Just dump it right on top of the stems, like you do your Rose bushes. As the plants start to wake up in the spring, carefully pull the mulch away from the stems. You'll love the outstanding ornamental value and disease resistance from these game-changing gorgeous blooming Hydrangea bushes. Yes, they really do keep producing flower buds all summer long. Just look at your summer pictures! You'll see the blooms covering these hardy plants all season long. They bloomed all summer to decorate your yard.
