Professional Growing Information This is the 3rd summer for the plant which I planted 2 years ago in the spring. Only a few flowers the first 2 years. Late frost last year may have killed the buds. This year it looks spectacular. 24" in height width and covered in flowers that look exactly like the pictures shown. I have 3 shrubs planted on the north side of our attached garage along the walkway to our front door. The best looking hydrangea in my garden as I have 2 other Endless Summer hydrangeas

Supplemental water may be needed in very hot weather. Apply a controlled release fertilizer in spring. Add aluminum sulfate to the soil to encourage blue flower color.

I have had this for at least 5 years. Not once has it bloomed. The top part dies off in the cold. I have had it in the ground as well as a pot. No luck either way. Top kill occurred even when the plant was placed in the garage! Overrated humbug.

Sorry to report that I paid full price two years ago for this hydrangea, and it has never thrived. I should have known better because it did not look robust at purchase. I have about 80 hydrangeas, and this is the first I have not had success with. Now it is in its third spot for a third try before I discard it.
