There is a gap where it is between old and new wood. Mine do well here in Zone 6. I have heard some complaints from colder zones. Endless Summer is a brand name and not a variety, since they have an entire series of Endless Summer hydrangeas. Thanks Stephen, I've tried the Endless Summer but the deer ate them before they bloomed. We're putting 6 strand wire up around the back then I'll plan some more next spring. Mine is in a wet area with underground springs and has deer fencing around it. It is pink. It is near some rhododendrons and azaleas, so I can't add aluminum sulfate. Aluminum will eventually kill some plants like rhododendrons and azaleas. It takes both aluminum and acid soil to make most of the blue/pink hydrangeas turn blue. The acid soil I have, but not the aluminum. I also have oak leaf, lace cap hydrangeas, regular mop-head hydranageas and the Endless Summer. The oak leaf hydrangea will have to be cut back. -- Pardon my spam deterrent; send email to Visit my Rhododendron and Azalea web pages at: http://rhodyman.net/rahome.html Also visit the Rhododendron and Azalea Bookstore at: http://rhodyman.net/rabooks.html Cheers, Steve Henning in Reading, PA USA Zone 6 |
