Planting Zones

How To Plant Summer Crush® Endless Summer® Hydrangea
Endless Summer Hydrangea grow best when they get full sun for part of the day and shade the balance of the day. Up north, where the summers are cooler, they like full sun for up to 6 hours each day and as you move south and the summer sun is more intense the less full direct sun is desired. In zones 8 and 9, consider 2 hours of full direct sun as ideal. Your Summer Crush will have pink flowers in an alkaline soil and blue flowers in acidic soil.
How To Water
Endless Summer Hydrangeas prefer to have the soil moist, but not saturated - especially in the summer and well into its first year after planting so it can become established. Throughout its life ,this hydrangea will need a deep watering once weekly when it is dry and hot.
How To Fertilize
Fertilize your Hydrangea once in the spring, we recommend using our Elements Starter Plant Food to help your plant get through its first growing season.
How To Prune
Prune your hydrangea right after it flowers to control its size or to tidy things up. Don't prune it hard because those stems will have flower buds for next year!
How Does Shipping Work?
Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box!

Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
