USDA Hardiness Zones: The 'Endless Summer' Blue Mophead Hydrangea is hardy in USDA zones 4-9, making it a versatile selection for many gardeners.

Care Instructions:

1. Sunlight: The plant thrives in morning sun and afternoon shade, especially in warmer climates. In cooler climates, it can tolerate more sun.

2. Soil: Plant your 'Endless Summer' in rich, well-drained soil. It prefers slightly acidic soil conditions. The color of the blooms can change based on the soil's pH level. For classic blue flowers, the soil should be acidic (pH below 6).

3. Water: Hydrangeas love water. Ensure the plant receives regular watering, especially during dry periods. However, avoid over-watering or allowing the plant to sit in water, as this can lead to root rot.

4. Fertilizer: Apply a slow-release, balanced fertilizer in early spring to encourage strong growth and prolific blooming. If you want to maintain the blue flowers, consider a fertilizer high in phosphorus to keep the soil acidity levels up.

5. Pruning: Pruning is not necessary for 'Endless Summer' Hydrangeas, as they bloom on both old and new wood. If you wish to prune for size or shape, do so immediately after flowering to avoid removing next year's buds.

6. Winter Care: In colder climates (zones 4-5), consider mulching around the base of the plant to provide winter protection.

The 'Endless Summer' Blue Mophead Hydrangea lives up to its name, offering an endless summer of unparalleled beauty. Its hardy nature and lengthy blooming period make it a favorite among garden enthusiasts. Add this magnificent shrub to your garden and enjoy its enchanting display season after season.
