Garden Goods Direct | Endless Summer® BloomStruck® Hydrangea

The Endless Summer® Bloomstruck Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) is a lovely shrub loved for its large multicolor blooms that make a bold splash in any summer garden. Reblooming every July and August, the Endless Summer shrub produces gorgeous mounds of flower heads that vary from violet-blue to rose, depending on the soil. Blooming on both old and new wood, these stunning blossoms are held up by strong red stems, a welcome contrast to the accenting green foliage. After the flowers fall in the autumn, these green leaves darken to burgundy to match their stems. Since the soil pH determines the color of your Hydrangea blooms, here are a few tricks to achieve your desired hue. Add aluminum sulfate to make the soil more acidic for blue to purple blooms. Deep Rose flowers require a slightly higher pH, so we recommend you add lime to the surrounding soil to accomplish such. Plant in early spring for best results. Like most hydrangeas, this bigleaf shrub enjoys moist, well-draining soil and can tolerate full sun but prefers part shade conditions. Praised for their impressive heat tolerance and resistance to powdery mildew, your Bloomstruck Hydrangea will indeed have you amazed by its hardiness. The highly durable summer flowering shrub is popular in garden hedges, yard focal points, and garden borders. The plant’s dark green foliage, paired with the variety of rose pink and blue blooms, will make your yard pop all summer. As a bonus, Hydrangea makes for stunning cut flower arrangements to bring your yard’s outdoor beauty in.
