A show-stopping hydrangea that delivers brilliant blue blooms from late spring through autumn in Cape Town’s mild climate. Unlike traditional hydrangeas, this variety flowers on both old and new wood, ensuring repeat flushes of colour throughout the season. Perfect for shady borders, woodland-style gardens, or as a striking container plant, it thrives in semi-shade and adds a romantic charm to any outdoor space.
Plant in rich, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter. Keep soil consistently moist, especially during Cape Town’s dry summer spells, but avoid waterlogging. Position in semi-shade for best colour and longevity of blooms. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape, but avoid heavy cutting as flowers form on both old and new stems. Mulch annually to retain moisture and feed with hydrangea fertiliser to enhance bloom colour.
The Endless Summer® series was the first hydrangea bred to flower on both old and new wood, meaning you’ll enjoy continuous blooms all season long, unlike traditional hydrangeas that flower only once.
