Endless Summer Hydrangea Care

When having potted Endless Summer Hydrangeas, maintain consistently moist soil during the growing season while avoiding waterlogging. Water deeply, ideally in the morning, to allow the plant to absorb it before it's too hot. Ensure water runs freely through the bottom holes to prevent root rot. Check that the top inches of soil are dry before giving your Hydrangea a drink.

You'll need to prune your Endless Summer Hydrangeas in early spring and remove only dried-out brown buds higher up on the stems, leaving the green buds. Remember never to prune in the fall, as it could lead to the loss of future blooms. Also, cut away dead or damaged wood and eliminate weak or crossing branches. Make your cuts just above healthy buds or lateral branches at a 45-degree angle.

For healthy Hydrangeas and rich bloom, it's recommended to apply one cup of granular fertilizer in spring or early summer. However, excessive fertilization should be avoided, as it can harm the root system and hinder blooming. The best option is slow-released fertilizer with an NPK ratio of 10-30-10 or, if unavailable, choose a fertilizer with a higher phosphorus (P) content to encourage blooming while avoiding those with excessive nitrogen (N) to prevent excessive foliage growth at the expense of blooms.

Endless Summer Hydrangea thrives in a spot with morning sun and partial sun overall. In warmer climates, it's crucial to choose a location that shields the plants from intense afternoon sun to avoid scorching.

Endless Summer Hydrangeas thrive in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil that is slightly acidic and evenly moist. The bloom color is determined by soil pH and aluminum content, as in most Hydrangeas species. At pH below 6.0, the color of the flowers will be blue, and at pH above 6.0, Hydrangea blooms will be pink. Keep in mind that changes in soil pH may not show immediate results and may take a season or two to take effect fully.

Endless Summer hydrangeas Stand out due to their exceptional winter hardiness, enduring temperatures as low as -30˚F (-34˚C). However, if planting the bushes in early spring, you have to be patient, as they require warmer soil and higher temperatures to initiate growth. The ideal temperature range you'll need to serve for your plants is around 65°F – 75°F (18°C – 24°C).

It’s recommended to plant Hydrangea 'Bailmer' in a container in colder regions for comfort overwintering. Choose a pot with perfect drainage to avoid overwatering.

Endless Summer Hydrangea pots are specially designed to match the bright blue color of the blooms.
