May and June are the season when hydrangeas bloom, and hydrangeas blooming in clusters are always particularly eye-catching!
Speaking of hydrangea, we have to mention one of its classic varieties-Endless Summer. Its new and old branches can bloom, and the flower color will show different colors of blue or pink with the pH of the growing soil.
It’s always not very accurate to say that Endless Summer is a variety. It’s more appropriate to call it a series of varieties. After all, people have been derived to the sixth generation (meaning that there are already six varieties called Endless Summer at present).
I don’t know if you have ever experienced this kind of embarrassment → → When you were planted by Endless Summer hydrangea and hurriedly prepared to buy a pot, you found that you needed to choose which generation of Endless Summer you want, and then instantly looked blinded
Without further ado, let’s reveal the mystery of endless summer ↓
Endless Summer Origin of
Endless summer is actually a variety of hydrangea, early In the mid-1980 s, a salesman at Bailey Nursery in the United States discovered a hydrangea that could differentiate on tender shoots to form flower buds in a garden in Cotaj Rogway, a suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota, but it attracted no attention at that time.
Until 2003, Bailey Nursery introduced this unique hydrangea, named it “Endless Summer”, and applied for new variety protection. Since then, there has been this “endless summer” 。
Growing habits of endless summer
Endless Summer Short day flowers, I like to be in a cool, humid and semi-shaded environment, The demand for light is not high (but the best light is guaranteed for 2-6 hours every day), and it can grow normally with bright scattered light; Its root system is very developed, so in the process of planting and breeding, enough soil and growth space should be given according to the size of the plant; It is famous for loving water flowers, especially in the hot summer, it is best to let it drink enough water every day, otherwise it will be easy to fight. Although its root system is developed, it is also relatively weak. If the flower soil is wet for a long time and in a state of accumulated water, it is very easy to cause the flower root to rot, so the growing soil must be breathable and drainage.
