so glad I clicked on this video! I am 5a in central NY. I am glad I only partially cut my stems back of my Endless summers in earlier spring, as I do have buds that made it through the winter, but the majority of new growth is from the base. Hopefully, I'll still get some blooms from the older wood. TY!

Super informative. I just picked up an Endless Summer on clearance in Nebraska 5b. This was very helpful to give me a direction to go in this winter for a hopefully successful 2024 season. 😁

Thanks, we are happy to help! Good luck with your hydrangeas!

Biggest success I have is,taking in about 11 potted Hydrangea to basement every Winter. When I bring them up and out for the year,I Re fertilizer,repot them in container,and I get great blossoms all Summer .

[@WascoNursery]

Yes, that’s a great way. They do like a dormant / cold period. Unheated but attached garages generally work well too.

Hi Matt, I have an endless summer, bloomstruck hydrangea and I’m in zone 4b. The year I purchased her in June she bloomed her head off. Since then the blooms were few and small, this year not any😔but the plat itself is beautiful! However, I’m wanting some beautiful purplish/blue blooms!!! Last winter we covered it from top to bottom in a burlap bag but all the previous years wood did not get any buds. I waited until mid June before I cut them. This year I will make a cage as U suggested and see if that makes a difference! I grow Annabelle here, which was my first hydrangea. She performs beautifully and is about 20 years old!!! I also have panicles, an old fashioned pee-gee, limelight and little lime which are both young and doing fabulous! I also have a lacey hydrangea that has no name. It quite large and also very pretty! Thank you for all for your info, I’m anxious to see what happens next spring!!! I’m subscribing to your channel!!!

Good Luck!! I really do hope that you get some blooms next year. Annabelle (Smooth) and Pee Gee (Panicled) Hydrangeas are great, since they do not require protection in order to bloom. They are very reliable. If the worst happens, and all of your blooms die over winter, I recommend using a high-phosphorous fertilizer to help promote blooming. We carry a product called: Jack's Blossom Booster, which does very well to promote blooms on your type of hydrangea. If you can find something similar near you, that would be ideal.

@@WascoNurserythank u, I’ll check out that fertilizer!

Thx for the video! I’m in zone 5b west central Indiana. Our winter temps fluctuate. If I cover my plants for the winter do I need to uncover every time it warms up? And if I cover at what point in time do I do that?

[@WascoNursery]

If you cover with leaves, you do not need to uncover until late winter / spring arrives.

[@obsessedwithlawnoddswithgr2092]

so when do you take the protection cage off the hydrangia in spring in zone 5 illinois. after april 27th last freeze date?

[@WascoNursery]

The best thing to do is take it off right as or before the leaves start to push out in the spring. Frosts can happen until mid-May in Northern Illinois, but they normally won't harm shrubs like hydrangeas, since the plants harden their leaves to resist damage.

[@sabahmansoor4820]

Are the endless summer hydrangeas more sun or shade loving?

[@WascoNursery]

They prefer morning sun - not a lot of afternoon sun, in our area (Northern IL)

To many uh, umm’s aaaa, ummm, like every other word. Unnecessary and annoying! I would remake this video! I M O. Sorry 😞

Thanks for the feedback! We film these videos live, so it is a little hard to avoid these filler words. We have started using a new editing software to help remove the filler words better. Thanks!
