The Endless Summer hydrangea likes partial shade, but can also tolerate the sun
'Endless Summer' thrives in a light and sheltered spot
The 'Endless Summer' farmer's hydrangea, which has lush flowers depending on the pH of the soil, thrives best in a sheltered spot with loose and nutrient-rich soil. This should be as slightly acidic as possible to a maximum of neutral, with the blue flowers only appearing in acidic soil. In a location with direct sun and in dry conditions, you must ensure that it is watered extensively, otherwise this variety tolerates the sun very well. However, she feels more comfortable in partial shade, for example under tall trees and with protection from the scorching midday sun. The farmer's hydrangea "Endless Summer" can be cultivated as a solitary plant, in groups, in a bed or as a container plant.
