Wonderful video! I have 3 endless summer and three bloom struck that I planted in mid June. I'm in zone 5a on the western side of Iowa. I deadheaded my spent blooms in August on all of my hydrangea and as if October 1st I had new blooms forming on my endless summer. I thought this was odd since we had a a few frosty nights, but then we had a week of 80 degree weather after the frost. I guess I get to enjoy a little blooming before the next frost 🤗

Thanks for the info. I planted a 2 gallon Firelight about this time last year. It was cool to see it lose it’s leaves, then watch new ones appear in March, followed by buds then beautiful white flowers that slowly turned pink in August. The burgundy color was short lived. They quickly turned brown. Not sure if it was a water issue. Thanks for the details on when to deadhead to capture the beautiful color. I’ll do better tracking them next year. I’d love to capture them when they are pink and white. Glorious!

Thanks for all the info, Jessica. I live in Canada and have 4 Quick Fire Hydrangeas. One year I hardly had any flowers because I trimmed them at the wrong time. This year they were magnificent. I wish I had found your channel earlier because I would have dried some properly to enjoy for longer. Luckily they weren't by my entrances though, because they were always swarmed with flies. They were not seen easily and didn't harm the plants, but if I touched the bush or standard, they all came flying out. Do you know why this is, and can you suggest what I can do if this happens next summer? Thanks again, for sharing. Lola 😊🇨🇦

@lisamichaelalpert6228 3 жыл бұрын

I have another amazing tip for drying Hydrangea....there is a spice in the grocery store called ALUM (used in pickling). Cut your hydrangea in garden, recut inside and dip fresh cut ends into the alum and then into the water. They will dry beautifully!!! the Alum keeps the hydrangea from closing up and thereby the flower can soak up that water while drying...I have blooms 3 years old that while fragile and still stunning....it was a PINterest tip I saw and figured it couldn't hurt to try....been drying that way since!!!!

Hi, macrophylla also blooms on new wood, depending on the cultivar, such as Endless Summer, and they bloom through the summer. Thank you for a fun video.

@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane 3 жыл бұрын

Endless Summer hydrangeas don't bloom on new wood in my zone 4 garden, sadly. 😔 Our growing season is just too short. They have performed so badly for so many years, I'm moving them to a more wild part of my property where they can live out their flowerless days and replacing them with paniculata type hydrangeas that bloom on new wood. It's too bad, too, because I loved the color blue they have, and you can't find that blue (or purple) in the paniculatas. The nickname I've heard them called is Endless Bummer, lol!

Thank you so much for the pruning info. I planted nine limelights along my driveway this year and have been battling the voracious deer all summer. Right now the poor plants have no leaves on them at all. I am in zone 6 in western NC. Do you think there is much hope for their survival through the winter? Is there something I should do to help them along? Repels All which is supposed to be good for two months barely lasts two weeks, the hostas and cone flowers are also gone.

@PleasantViewGardens 3 жыл бұрын

Oh no! Hydrangeas, especially the panicle types, are quite resilient. Don’t give up on them yet, especially if you still have green wood in the stems. At this point, there is not much you can do for them; wait for spring and give them a light trim to even out the shape. There are a couple of options for deterring deer. (1) Planting deer resistant plants, which might mean giving up a few of your favorites. (2) If you love hydrangea, try planting them close to the house or planting a dwarf cultivar in a patio container. Deer tend to avoid coming right up to the house. (3) Deer repellants, which work to varying degrees. (4) Install a deer fence.

One more question....with the endless summer ( we are zone 7 in Delaware) when is best time to transplant as it is getting too big for spot they are in now....any advise would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for sharing 😊k

The best time to transplant Endless Summer (a hydrangea macrophylla) is when it is dormant, which is late fall or early spring (my preference) before the leaves have emerged.

Those are actually planters of petunias mounted to the fence. We refer to them as 'lollipops'. It would be amazing if those were trees!

I love hydrangeas. I live in zone 7A where the summers are hot. My mini mauvettes struggled. They’re still alive but I couldn’t give them enough shade or water. Which paniculatas do well in full sun?

@PleasantViewGardens 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Samara, Most people think of hydrangeas as shade plants, but they look and flower best with at least four hours of sun, ideally in the morning. Panicle hydrangeas are the most sun tolerant, and can take full sun in northern climates. Here's a link to a great resource Hydrangeas Demystified that can provide some more information: www.provenwinners.com/sites/provenwinners.com/files/pdf/hydrangeas_demystified_2015.pdf

Avoid planting them in an area that stays constantly wet (so they don’t develop root rot). However, hydrangeas need constant moisture for proper establishment. Consider adding mulch to help with moisture retention. In general, panicle-type hydrangeas are the most forgiving of all hydrangeas and a great plant to start with. Some of our most popular varieties are Limelight, Little Lime, and Fire Light (shown in the video).
