You could try F&E's Blue Heaven in alkaline soil; F&E's Fantasia also leans heavily toward pink. Penny Mac in alkaline soil is another good one. David Ramsey is much like ES but is cheaper to buy big - better guarantee of success there.

Non-rebloomers: If you can get Pink N Pretty / Charm / Compacta to bloom, they are nice big blooms that can take sun for up to 2 months before fading. Preziosa is another good pick for foliage/bloom interest.

Thanks for the response. I think that gives me a couple of good options.

I'd certainly consider adding a paniculata or two :-) These are far more cold hardy than the macrophyllas, bloom on new growth so considered "reblooming", and while considered a white flowered variety, virtually all have flowers that age to pink or rose, some much more so and/or earlier than others. Also some of the most sun and drought tolerant of all the hydrangea species.

I'd look at 'Pinky Winky', 'Quickfire' or 'Vanilla Strawberry' for great color.

I wonder what partial sun is? Time of the day? I love Paniculatas and Macs, but Paniculatas require a decent amount of sun. The Vanilla Strawberry will rebloom & is the only Paniculata that will rebloom I know of.

Endless Summers is a good choice. They can just take a couple years sometimes to hit their grove. Blue Heavens do well right out the gate, but hate mid day or evening sun. Mine do best in extreme shade.

The area I'll be planting them faces north and west, but is protected from afternoon sun by some large maple trees planted along the street. I'm going to be planting them with a few smaller evergreens, so I can't say for sure, but I'd guess sun from about 10-2 on most days.

Stay away from Blue Heavens for that location. I learned the hard way that they hate the sun...lol. Any Mac will wilt with mid day sun like that for the first few years no matter what till it has some deep roots established. I have an Endless Summer in a similar situation and does well now after a few years of deep watering. Forever & Ever Together will thrive quicker than an Endless Summer in that location, but might not get as big as you are looking for.
