A revolutionary new breakthrough in the horticultural world, the 'Endless Summer' Hydrangeas will produce flowers on both old and new wood. That means that you are almost certainly guaranteed a profusion of flowers from June to October. This is the pink form (they also come in blue and white), although like all the other Hydrangeas, you can alter their flower colour by adding hydrangea colourant or planting in acidic soil. - Garden care: Leave the old flower heads in place through the winter. As the new shoots start to emerge in spring cut back a third to a quarter of the previous seasons flowering stems to the base and cut back the remaining flower heads to the first pair of buds.
