Endless Summer Bloomstruck Hydrangea Shrubs for Sale Online

The Endless Summer 'Bloomstruck' Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) reblooms every July and August producing gorgeous mophead flower heads that vary from violet-blue to rose, depending on the soil. Blooming on both old and new wood, these astonishing blossoms are held up by unique red stems, a welcome contrast to the accenting green foliage. After the flowers fall in the autumn, these green leaves darken to burgundy to match their stems.

Like most hydrangeas, this bigleaf shrub enjoys moist, well-draining soil and can tolerate full sun but prefers partial shade. I would suggest you adjust sun exposure depending on your local climate. In these conditions, this Endless Summer Hydrangea can grow up to 5 feet tall and wide.

Since the soil pH determines the color of your flower clusters, here are a few tricks to achieve your desired hue. for blueish-purple blooms, add aluminum sulfate to make the soil more acidic. Deep Rose flowers require a slightly higher pH. I find that the addition of lime to the surrounding soil accomplishes this.

The Bloomstruck Hydrangea does great as a hedge or a centerpiece to your border garden, giving both privacy and color to your yard all summer long. Be mindful, however as these are deciduous shrubs and the aforementioned privacy will dissipate in the fall. Snip off a few of these vibrant blue flower heads to bring some life into your house.
