Notes
'Endless Summer Blushing Bride' bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Endless Summer Blushing Bride') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The pure white mophead flowers can flush with pale pink or pale blue depending on soil pH. It reblooms, so in cold climates or after severe pruning you still get flowers, just a little later in the season.
Pairs well with Sum and Substance hosta, Japanese forest grass, Christmas fern, and Katsura tree.
