Could anyone tell me what a dooley hydrangea is and what it looks like. Is it much different from endless summer?
How should I care for dooley?

RE: What is a Dooley Hydrangea

Dooley is a macrophylla, said to be somewhat more cold hardy than a typical one. They say that it will produce flowers in Zone 6(to -11°F), with minimal protection.
It is not a remontant type, like ES, and only blooms on last years growth, like a typical macrophylla.
The blooms can be quite large and similar to a Nikko, blue in acidic soil, pink in Neutral to Alkaline soil.
In my Zone, it is difficult to distinguish from many other cultivars, Nikko Blue, Glory Blue, Penny Mac, etc.
