The first reblooming lacecap Hydrangea in the ‘Endless Summer’ series is Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Twist and Shout.’ Depending on the pH of your soil, this distinctive species produces mauve pink or periwinkle blue flowers. The magnificent lacecap blooms are carried on strong red stalks that contrast beautifully with the dark green foliage. These remarkable reblooming Hydrangeas, which are part of the ‘Endless Summer’ line, are neat and small, flowering continuously from May to September. ‘Endless Summer’ Hydrangeas have a strong growth habit and are disease resistant, especially to mildew. Height and spread: 150cm (5′).
Growing Information
Hydrangea macrophylla prefers a sunny or semi shaded position, with shelter from cold, drying winds. Grow hydrangea plants in any rich fertile, moist soil. Improve the soil prior to planting by adding with plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost, ensuring that it is mixed in thoroughly and deeply. Alternatively plant hydrangea macrophylla in patio containers in soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3.
