Endless Summer Original Bigleaf Hydrangea 1 Live Shrub, 2 Gallon – Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Bailmer’

Endless Summer® The Original Bigleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Bailmer’) is a deciduous flowering shrub known for its rounded mophead blooms and ability to flower on both old and new wood. Its large flower clusters can appear pink or blue depending on soil pH and aluminum availability. Acidic soil with available aluminum generally encourages blue flowers, while less acidic conditions favor pink coloration.

Unlike many traditional bigleaf hydrangeas that flower primarily on the previous season's growth, Endless Summer® The Original can produce additional blooms on new growth during the growing season. This reblooming characteristic provides the potential for colorful flowers from summer into fall under favorable conditions. The shrub develops a rounded, bushy habit with broad green foliage and is well suited to foundation plantings, cottage gardens, mixed borders, and ornamental containers. It grows best in partial sun, especially with morning sunlight and afternoon shade, and prefers fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture.

Each order includes 1 live Endless Summer® The Original Bigleaf Hydrangea shrub supplied in a 2-gallon nursery container. The plant is rooted and container-grown. Flower color is influenced by growing conditions and cannot be guaranteed. Depending on the season, plants may arrive dormant, leafless, recently pruned, or without flowers.
