With the hydrangea "Endless Summer", unlike other farmer's hydrangeas, the risk of a failed flower is significantly lower. After all, this variety blooms not only on last year's wood, but also on fresh wood. Nevertheless, the otherwise lush flowering can be significantly reduced by frost damage.
The flowers of the Endless Summer hydrangea are very sensitive to frost

Actually, the farmer's hydrangea "Endless Summer" is a variety with quite good characteristics in terms of its winter hardiness. Nevertheless, the flowering of this plant, which is actually very willing to bloom, can be endangered by winter frosts, which is why you have to take appropriate measures to protect them. A leaf embankment is ideal, whereby you build a wire mesh frame (€14.99) around the plant and fill it with a dry leaf-straw mixture. Alternatively, a fleece or raffia cover protects the sensitive buds. Frozen shoots are simply cut away in spring.
tips and tricks
In contrast to planted specimens, potted hydrangeas should not overwinter outdoors, but frost-free. A cool and bright room is ideal for this, although you must not forget to water it regularly, even in winter.
