If you ever wondered why your bigleaf hydrangea (H. macrophylla) doesn't bloom, you'll love a new variety named Endless Summer. For the first time, even northern gardeners can expect reliable blooms from bigleaf hydrangea.

Nikko Blue and other big-leaf hydrangeas often fail to bloom in the Midwest because their flower buds are killed by cold. But Endless Summer changes the rules. It's the first variety that blooms on new wood, as well as old.
