Endless Summer Hydrangea Hedge & a Giveaway!

July 26, 2017  Garden | Uncategorized

If you’re looking for me this summer, you’ll probably find me on my patio.

July is prime blooming season and I love being surrounded by a sea of gorgeous hydrangeas.

Kelly and hydrangeas go together like peas and carrots so partnering with Endless Summer® Hydrangeas is a no brainer for me.

Gardening involves lots of trail and error so I’m passing on some of my tips so you can have more success in your garden.

Where to Plant Hydrangeas

Buy plants here – 1 gallon containers of Endless Summer Hydrangeas / 3 gallon containers of Endless Summer Hydrangeas
Just like real estate, it’s all about location, location, location when it comes to planting hydrangeas.
They prefer a few hours of morning sun with dappled afternoon shade and they thrive in my backyard. They are planted right by my house so they get lots of shade when the intense afternoon sun is blazing.
Depending on what part of the country you live in is also a factor when choosing the perfect spot for your plants. I live in NJ so my blooms can handle more sun than southern states.

Hydrangea Watering Tips 

Did you know that overwatering can cause hydrangeas to produce less blooms! Your soil type will determine how much and how often you should water. Clay soil holds water and will not need to be watered as frequently as sandy soil.
When the temperatures soar, you may notice that your hydrangeas wilt in the afternoon. That is perfectly normal but they will perk back up when the temps cool down. I like to water in the early morning or early evening (I set the timer on my sprinkler system). If you don’t have a sprinkler system, use a soaker hose or water by hand.
Make sure to mulch around your plants so you can water less frequently.

    So, that explains my fascination with Hydrangea! It’s all in the name, I am a Kelly too and this is my season too! I’ve been amending my clay and rocky soil with organic matter for many years to get anything to grow and it’s really paying off, but it took a long time. I have to be careful in certain areas because the clay tends to hold onto the moisture and I have killed quite a few plants with kindness.
    Your blog is wonderful and fun.

    We have 19 hydrangeas in our yard, 3 of which are Endless Summers. Our yard is a small + narrow city lot, so that’s a lot of hydrangeas! I’m not doing a very good job of keeping my Endless Summer blossoms the highly coveted blue. I’ll fertilize them with the acid-loving plant stuff again tomorrow + cross my fingers. Isn’t the Twist ‘n Shout from the Endless Summer company? We have 3 of them, too! 😉
