Endless Summer Hydrangea

July 11, 2012 — hankinslawrenceimages

I was recently photographing at Brookside Gardens and noticed an absolutely beautiful Endless Summer Hydrangea in bloom. While it’s not uncommon for hydrangeas to bloom this early – I was surprised to see this particular one in bloom – since I remember seeing it in full bloom late last summer. I remembered when the Endless Summer Hydrangea bloomed because it had so many different colors of blossoms on the same plant. It turns out that Endless Summer is a fairly new hybrid hydrangea that blooms on both the current and previous year’s growth – so blooms all summer long.

Here are some of the wonderful colors of blossoms I saw on the Endless Summer Hydrangea recently. I’m going to keep an eye on this plant and see how it looks throughout the summer. I’ve been thinking of adding some hydrangeas to my yard – and this one with it’s long blooming period may be just what I’m looking for.
