Ruth, you don’t say where you live, and that makes the biggest difference. Since it blooms on new wood, cutting it back in spring should not have left you bloomless. However, I had blooms last year and also don’t have them this year, and I didn’t cut back the old wood until the shrub had sprouted and it was clear which stems were dead. I think the lack of heat this summer is what caused the lack of bloom. If next summer is warmer, you should have blooms, provided you fertilize and water regularly. That is my best guess.

My 4 year old Endless Summer is 4Ft. wide x5Ft. high with fantastic green leaves, but not 1bloom in August! I unknowingly pruned the whole plant back in the spring. I plan on mulching 6″ worth of leaves in fall, with hopes of beautiful blooms next summer. What do you think? Will I have flowers next season?

This is my second year with a all summer long hydrangia that i got from a online greenhouse. Im very impressed it has grown twice the size that i planted it-about 2.5 feet all around, and it has about 8 blooms that are just starting to grow. I live in Angola NY-a suburb of buffalo-we have very harsh winters and short summers-im very supprised this plant has preformed so well. It gets only am and sunset sun-durring the hottest part of the day its sheltered by pine tree, I believe thats why its has preformed so well.

I’m doing a photo diary of mine this year. Taking a picture a week, just to prove all the naysayers wrong, it can be a wonderful shrub. After it finishes blooming, which for me will be when we get our first hard freeze, I’ll finish it and blog about it.

I also am a big fan of the endless summer hydrangeas. I have 7 of them planted in several different beds. This year I’m having the opposite effect. Blooms have been smaller and not as plentiful.

After reading your post and seeing your photos I am convinced that my next plant will have to be hydrangeas. They are so beautiful! I'm currently working on a liriope garden. I'll let you know as they start to bloom.

Both my ES & ‘Penny Mac’ are loving this cooler wetter weather. They both look better than ever, but ‘Penny’ is still outperforming ES. I had no idea flower heads were supposed to get that big.
