Hydrangea Macrophylla Endless Summer and Blushing Bride

17 years ago

I am planning to spiff up my woodland garden this spring and I'd like to plant 3 hydrangea bushes in it. The site is beneath 2 mature white oaks and a white pine. It gets about 3 or 4 hours of direct sun in the morning and dappled sun on and off in the afternoon. I am thinking about Endless Summer and wonder what other gardeners think about the shrub. I am also looking at Blushing Bride. Does anyone have any advice about these hydrangeas?

Blushing bride was introduction of last year and looked quite nice in the nurseries. Prices were too steep for me so I will have to wait. Endless summer I had for couple of years and it has been relialbe performer for me. We shall see how they tolerate this winter when they almost went into full bud this unusually warm Jan.
