Endless Summer Hydrangeas in zone 4
 

I've planted these this year and they are currently in bloom. Di I
deadhead these to promote more boom?

Thanks

I don't have this type in my garden yet, but Monrovia
http://www.monrovia.com/MonroviaWeb....b?OpenDocument
says to do it now. Good luck. Post a link to a pic if you can.

Apparently the secret to Endless Summer is that it is a genetic freak
that acts like some hydrangeas that bloom on old wood and some other
hydrangeas that bloom on new wood. Hence, if you can keep the blossoms
on old wood going until the blossoms on new wood kick in then the effect
of constant bloom is better achieved. Deadheading never hurts as long
as you don't disturb buds of new blossoms. It would be nice if they
could do this with lace-cap hydrangeas also.
