Thank you. I really appreciate the informed content - much better than the hyperbolic ads.

Excellent information on these hydrangeas. I tried with endless summer for 3 years and 3 different plants and none survived until I bought another and put it to grow in my microclimate and it survived the winters now 3 years in a row here in the windy city.

Thank you Dr. Dirr I really enjoyed the video. The information and photos at the end was the icing on the hydrangea cake ❤🎉😊

Recently planted a Bloomstruck at my Dad’s house (zone 6b Toronto area). They had it labelled as “Purple Bloomstruck” but sounds like your Deep Purple variety isn’t on the retail market yet so it must’ve been the original Bloomstruck. I took a chance by positioning it in a little more sun than I typically would a macrophylla (it’s an area that panicles would likely do fine in but I felt I was rolling the dice with this type.) It wilted during the first few weeks and I thought she was a goner but, thankfully, it was just a bit of transplant shock (which happens, especially planting in the high heat of summer). She’s doing great now! Healthy, strong and yes, lots of re-blooms. And even with all of our rain this summer, the stalks are holding up the big blooms just fine. (Whereas our Annabelle’s, for example, are all hanging on the ground). I’m buying another Bloomstruck so they’ll flank a dark purple smokebush. Great job - this is an excellent hydrangea. I’m really pleased. Oh, and I love the deep colour of the stems. Adds even more colour contrast & personality.

Love the fall color of Twist 'n Shout.

I have a twist and shout. Full shade here in North Texas and doing great.

I loved this!!!!

I have bloomstruck!💙 It's new but I can't wait to see it mature.

Hello Dr. Dirr! Do you remember, during one of your sabbaticals at the Arnold, grabbing a couple of bikes and riding around with a young hort nerd (and groupie) that just happened to be there that day, and checking out the various Clethra alnifolia that were in flower? I'm that hort nerd! I'm a semi-retired LD now, living in Oregon, previously in Seattle, where Keith Warrens Sister was and still is (remotely) my best client!

This year we planted The Original and Pop Star here is PA zone 6b and they immediately took off. Looking forward to see how they perform next year. Thanks Doc!

Thank you for sharing your process! 🥰🍀🌼🌸

I really liked this video but found it very hard to hear if you can maybe use a mic next time? Very informative though, thank you!

Thank you for the valuable information. You have a talented videographer. Well done, Katie. 😊 I love them all, but I really want three Blushing Brides for my garden. ❤

Although the information was of great interest to us it was a struggle to hear the audio. For the future, please consider improving the sound quality. Thanks for your overview of recent hydrangea offerings.

Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you to both of you! Your wife did a great job on filming and catching all the beautiful flowers close up! I watch on my phone and had volume turned all the way up, but I still had to hold the phone to my ear, and away to look at the flowers! I know you are new and will improve over time. Suggestion … maybe get a microphone? Can you please list the fertilizer’s and when and how you apply them in the comments sections of video’s would be very helpful and greatly appreciated! Question… I have a pink summer crush that has been planted for 3 years now and it’s very small, beautiful green foliage, but it has never bloom for me??? It was in bloom when I bought it. Planted in ground and gets morning and afternoon sun until around 3. It’s in a fairly always moist spot to. I have fly soil but when I planted it I dug a huge hole and used a mixture of black cow , and some clay, top soil and expert gardening soil all mixed up so it has good drainage. It’s close to a pine tree so was afraid to put any soil acidification around it. In early spring when it started breaking dormancy, I do add some 10-10-10 granular around everything. Can you please help. Thinking about moving it to a different location

Wow I learned a lot, thank you for sharing the history and the development process to create these gorgeous plants!! I fell in love with gardening due to my Endless Summers :)

So interesting,

I bought pop star for my garden in zone 3. Short one helps in winter protection.

Great video and information Dr. Dirr! Can’t wait to get my hands on a ‘Showstopper’. Please do a video on your arborescens selections too!

Thank you I love my bloomstruck and let’s dance

Showstopper looks gorgeous. Wish I could buy a couple but I can't find even one mention of it online.

I'll take one of each hydrangea please! Note: On the home page of your KZfaq site the Garden Productions link appears to be broken.

Beautiful plants thanks Dr. For sharing, may I know the zone of those hydrangeas please and thank you.

I enjoyed every minute of this! THANK YOU! Now will Premier Introductions please accept my invitation to do trials in Michigan? Haha gorgeous work! Also, if you could make these beauties deer resistant, I think you’d set a new record! :P Awesome job. Well done.

Please post more about pop star.

Why do I see so many hydrangeas in full sun? All the research I’ve done says mostly shade, but I see hydrangeas in full sun all the time…even proven winners has theirs in full sun in their trial garden. Mine are in morning sun, probably about 4 hours or so….and now I’m worried they aren’t getting enough sun…
