エンドレスサマー®アジサイ

The original reblooming hydrangea: big mophead blooms from spring straight through fall, on both last year's wood and this year's new growth.

Endless Summer® (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Balimer') changed what gardeners could expect from a bigleaf hydrangea. Instead of one early flush that a late frost could erase, it sets full, rounded mophead blooms continuously across the season. The flowers open in clear blue or rich pink depending on your soil, riding above glossy deep-green leaves on a tidy, rounded shrub that matures to about 4 feet tall and wide. It is the kind of plant that anchors a shady border, softens a foundation, and fills a vase all summer long.

Why growers choose the Endless Summer® Hydrangea

• Reblooms all season. It flowers on old AND new wood, so it keeps producing fresh mopheads from spring through fall rather than blooming just once.
• You choose the color. Acidic soil turns the blooms blue, while neutral to alkaline soil brings them pink — a living color you can adjust to suit your garden.
• Frost insurance. Because it can bloom on new growth, a hard winter or a late spring freeze that damages old stems will not cost you the whole show.
• Cold-hardy and dependable. Rated for zones 4–9, it handles winters that older bigleaf hydrangeas could not survive.
• Right-sized habit. A naturally compact 4-by-4-foot mound fits foundations, borders, and large containers without constant cutting back.

Use it as a foundation planting on the north or east side of the house, group several into a soft informal hedge, weave it through a shaded mixed border, or grow a single plant in a roomy container near a patio where you can enjoy the blooms up close and cut a few for the house.
