Hydrangea Endless Summer® Summer Crush® Bigleaf Hydrangea

Hydrangea Endless Summer® Summer Crush® Bigleaf Hydrangea produces an abundance of floral-quality mophead blooms on sturdy, strong stems, perfect for fresh or dried arrangements. The blooms' color is yours to choose: in acidic soil (pH below 6.0), expect vibrant neon purple, while alkaline soil (pH above 6.0) brings out raspberry-red flowers. Whichever hue you prefer, the color is intense and striking, with blooms appearing on both old and new wood for season-long beauty.

This compact, rounded hydrangea is ideal for patio containers or small garden spaces, where it can thrive with occasional deep soakings to keep soil consistently moist. Summer Crush tolerates sun better than many hydrangeas, handling up to 6 hours of full sun in cooler climates, provided it has afternoon shade. In warmer areas, situate this hydrangea in shadier spots and apply mulch around the base to keep the roots cool and hydrated.

The bare root version of this plant arrives without a pot, enclosed in a poly bag to protect the root ball, which has been cultivated in a hexagonal design to reduce transplant shock. The root system is well-established to promote a successful transplant. Follow bare root planting instructions, but avoid soaking.

Endless Summer® Summer Crush® Bigleaf Hydrangea also makes a thoughtful, lasting gift for any garden lover.
