Summer Crush Hydrangea is the hottest new introduction from the
|
|
|
|
|
|
Endless Summer line of repeat blooming hydrangeas.

The Endless Summer will bloom on both old and new wood,
|
|
|
|
|
|
so they will bloom early in summer and repeat in late summer as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I like this line because you get a second chance if you forget to
|
|
|
|
|
|
water and the flowers turn brown, or still get flowers if pruned back too hard.

The Summer Crush also has the advantage of being a dwarf 2-3’ spread hydrangea
|
|
|
|
|
|
so you won’t need to prune it hard to keep it tidy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Summer Crush also does fantastic in a pot on the porch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Summer Crush is a vibrant raspberry color in alkaline soil,
|
|
|
|
|
|
but will be violet purple if you acidify your soil.

Summer Crush, like all mop head hydrangeas likes protection from the hottest
|
|
|
|
|
|
afternoon sun so plant it in part shade or part sun, you couldn’t
|
|
|
|
|
|
get more vibrant color in a shady spot!
