Notes
'Endless Summer The Original' bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Endless Summer The Original') is a shrub for borders, containers, specimen planting, and shade gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It reblooms, so blue or pink flowers keep coming from early to late summer. It grows fast and tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Guacamole hosta, Cinnamon fern, and Jack in the pulpit.
