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!
Endless Summer, Summer Crush Hydrangea is on sale this week for only $25.60 in a #2 pot.
