It's hard to remember every plant we have or would
like to have. That's why we keep lists. Our plant lists content information
about our tries at growing, general information on the plant and
photographs. |

over 200

about any of these either find the plant in the list above,

categories or locations in the left column.
Each plant
listed will show a picture, and our notes about that plant. When possible, we include the Latin

Perennials
Hydrangea
macrophylla Bailmer
(ENDLESS SUMMER®)
Endless Summer® will begin to bloom in spring and repeat through fall. This extremely cold hardy shrub will spice up any garden with the large mophead flowers. Endless Summer blooms on old wood and current season growth, assuring every season will produce a spectacular show.
Endless Summer are hard to keep blue.
They need a strong, acidic fertilizer, like Miracle Gro Acid Gro, coffee grounds, horse manure and peat moss. But the key is aluminum sulfate, on top of all that other stuff. Mix epsom salt with water and apply about every two weeks.
