More about this plant
The Original Endless Summer is the mophead bigleaf hydrangea that started the reblooming series, flowering on both the previous year's stems and new growth so colour continues through the season. Heads open classic Nantucket blue or soft pink depending on soil pH, above bright green foliage that colours red in fall. It makes a rounded shrub roughly 3 to 5 feet tall and wide, hardy in zones 4 to 9, and is described as hardy and disease resistant. Give it morning sun with afternoon shade and medium to high moisture, prune in summer after flowering, and use it in foundation beds, containers and cut arrangements.
