Do Endless Summer® Hydrangeas grow and thrive in the shade in Ohio?

Great question! In your climate, your Endless Summer^® hydrangeas will thrive if they receive morning sun and afternoon shade. So planted on the eastern side of your house or under trees that offer dappled shade in the afternoon. If you plant these beauties in full shade where they never receive any direct light they won’t bloom well and are likely to become somewhat spindly: surviving rather than thriving.
