Endless Summer Hydrangea

Endless Summer is a mophead hydrangea that can bloom on both old and new wood. The repeat blooms of Endless Summer The Original truly offer gardeners an endless summer of incredible color. This hardy plant is perfect for everything from foundation planting to container gardening. They even make an ideal floral arrangement or table setting as cut flowers. Speaking of color – that's also one of the remarkable aspects of this plant. You can alter the color from pink to blue.

How to change the color

Endless Summer The Original has the unique ability to produce spectacular pink or blue blooms depending on the pH makeup of your soil. An alkaline soil produces pink flowers, while an acid soil produces blue flowers (you can buy a soil pH testing kit to test your soil). It is possible to manipulate the color of hydrangeas, but one word of caution: many people have killed their plants by applying too much aluminum sulfate. More is not better.

To encourage flowering, it is recommend for you to use a fertilizer low in nitrogen and with a phosphorus content over 30. An N-P-K ratio of 10-40-10 is ideal (note: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) in fertilizers).

Change to Pink
To change from blue to pink you need to change from an acid soil to an alkaline one. To help raise your pH you can use dolomitic lime several times a year. You will have to retest your soil and aim for a pH of about 6.0 to 6.2, if it goes above 6.4, your hydrangea may experience an iron deficiency. Use fertilizers with high levels of phosphorus such as 10-40-10. Phosphorus helps to prevent aluminum from being taken up in the plant's system. Consider growing your hydrangea in a large pot where it would be easier to control the pH.

Change to Blue
Lowering the pH of your soil to a pH level of about 5.2-5.5 will produce blue flowers. Using a soil acidifier will lower your soil's pH for beautiful blue blooms. Follow directions carefully on the acidifier product you purchase. Thoroughly water the plant before adding any acidifier. Adding large amounts of organic matter, such as peat moss and composted leaves, will acidify the soil as it breaks down. Remember to check the pH of your water as well as your soil. If you are trying to turn your flowers blue and you have hard water, it will be difficult to achieve. Also remember that concrete foundations and walkways tend to leach lime, raising the pH in that area.
