Endless Summer Hydrangea Original

### Care Guide for Endless Summer Hydrangea Original Endless Summer Hydrangea Original is prized for its ability to bloom on both old and new wood, allowing it to flower repeatedly throughout the growing season. Plant it in a location that receives morning sun and afternoon shade to protect it from harsh heat. Soil should be well-drained and rich in organic matter to support healthy growth. Water consistently, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Mulching helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to promote vigorous growth and abundant blooms. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers as they encourage leaf growth over flowers. Prune lightly after the first bloom to shape the shrub and remove dead or damaged stems, but avoid heavy pruning as it may reduce flowering. Adjust soil pH to influence bloom color: acidic soils produce blue flowers, while alkaline soils yield pink hues. Monitor for common pests like aphids and spider mites, and treat as needed. This hydrangea is not deer resistant and can be susceptible to damage. Overall, it is a low-maintenance shrub that adds long-lasting color and interest to the garden.
