Overview & Description
Endless Summer® Summer Crush® Hydrangea (Hydrangea mac. ‘Bailmacfive’ PP30359) is a stunning, re-blooming deciduous shrub prized for its big, raspberry red to vibrant purple blooms that appear all summer long. This compact plant features dark green foliage, creating a neat, tidy appearance with little maintenance required. Unlike many bigleaf hydrangeas, it blooms reliably on both old and current year’s wood, ensuring continuous colour throughout the season.
Growth & Size
This variety exhibits a compact, mounded, rounded growth habit. It is a slow to moderate-growing dwarf shrub, typically reaching a mature size of about 18 – 24 inches in height with a spread of 20 – 30 inches.
Additional Notes
It blooms from early summer to fall on both old and new wood. Hardy to Zone 4, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. For best bloom colour, adjust soil pH: acidic for purple blooms, alkaline for raspberry pink. An outstanding choice for borders, foundation plantings, and small gardens where vibrant raspberry purple blooms and compact performance are desired.
