Blossoming Questions

The Summer Crush label says full sun but videos say not full sun. Can they be full sun?

First time with a summer crush hydrangea. Planted in most sun . Been 2 months doing great. Just wondering if should cut off the dead blooms. Or should I say discolored faded ones.?? They still look ok and I read on the tag. The less you prune the better ??? So just wasn’t sure??

Where is the best place to plant my endless summer. I’m thinking east or south? And little more detail like 6-8 hours of morning sun?

I just bought 2 of “The Original” and noticed some of blooms are turning brown. I’m not sure if I’m adding too much water or not enough water. They are planted in containers with good drainage and the soil is moist. They now only get morning sun. I just moved them so they aren’t getting sun all day long. Suggestions would be appreciated! I live in NY.

How many hours of sun can hydrangeas take a day?

My hydrangea are wilting after too much sun followed by too much water in hope to correct the sun. How can I save them? Should I replant in larger pot? I have already moved it to a shady area to avoid direct sunlight.

What is a good shrub to plant now in mid-June when temps are in the 70s to 90? Morning sun, afternoon shade.

I planted 5 hydrangeas and two have green wood beneath the soil, two have each one green leaf sprout. My fifth shows no sign of life! I did not cut wood down as they are only 12 inches as these were new plants – I do not see anything happening on the old wood. The buds are hard and dark brown (look dead) – they get morning sun until about 1 pm then are in the shade for the rest of the day – soil is moist but not wet and I’ve added fertilizer—is this normal for June? What else can I do to make them thrive?


I planted my Endless Summer Hydrangea about 2 weeks ago and it did really well for the first week and now it’s becoming less and less healthy.
 When I planted the hydrangea the tag said it would tolerate full or partial sun, so I planted it an area that receives full sun for about 10 hours a day. I also put a small amount of the fertilizer into the hole. I have watered it well daily since i planted it. The leaves and blooms are turning purplish and then brown and dry. I trimmed the dead leaves and blooms off very carefully and it’s continuously declining.
I’m thinking I should transplant it to an area with more shade and am wondering if this would be ok to do if it’s done at a time of day that is not sunny and hot.

My Endless Summer hydrangea ‘The Original’ is placed in a location where it gets a lot of sun and by 6-7pm gets shade. How much sunlight can they handle?
