Endless Summer Hydrangea Summer Crush, 1 Gallon

WOW! These plants are so healthy with thick foliage. They have a great rooting system and we're definitely ready to start growing even more. I'm so impressed with the quality for the price. There was lots of new leaf growth and they were all a lush green. They were packaged perfectly and the soil was still moist. I have acperfect spot for them with morning sun and afternoon shade. It's really important to know what type of hydrangea plant you have when determining the planting spot. Only a few of them can handle all day direct sun. Aldo important to understand the ph levels in your soil to get the colors of the plants to change or maintain the same shade. So after doing my homework I went with these 2 different types. I really like the pinkish red color, and a blue one will give a nice pop of color where I want it. Excellent product, especially for an on line order.

I have ordered plants from other supposedly well known companies; but these plants are healthy and growing. I even ordered 2 more. These are beautiful hydrangeas. They are already showing signs of blooming. I should also praise them for the excellent packaging of the plants for transport. No dirt loose, no leaves/limbs broken and the soil was still moist when they arrived. Will definitely purchase more plants from them!!

I ordered this pink hydrangea for Easter for my Mom. It arrived promptly, but when opened, it was extremely small with no buds. I did not return it as it was a gift for Easter Sunday and we were not staying over in her town till Monday to return it for her. She is elderly and we discarded the box because it was a big box for a small plant. It was a disappointment to receive such a small non flowering hydrangea for Easter as I paid the same amount for a blue one also and it at least had buds eventhough they were green and immature.

I wanted to post that I ordered a Summer Crush hydrangea, and I didn't experience the problems that others have reported. My hydrangea arrived five days after I ordered it. It arrived in a box marked "live plant." It was *slightly* impacted during transit. The stems and leaves are shaped a little funnily, but nothing serious. I recently ordered another shrub (a burning bush) from another online plant retailer, and the burning bush arrived in similar condition to the Summer Crush hydrangea -- a little misshapen from its travels, but in good health. I planted it and watered it, and gave a week or so to bounce back, and it's thriving. I expect the same thing will happen with the hydrangea. Also, the hydrangea I received has one flower in the process of blooming, and another big gorgeous bud forming. The foliage is in good condition, very healthy and full. I'm not worried about the long-term health of this plant at all. I will circle back later in the summer with more pictures to close the loop.

Large, green & full of pink blooms!!

Ok so my thoughts are. They arrived a day early and that was great. The color is gorgeous. Cons extremely smaller than advertised. Price is high for the size. Hope they grow and stay nice colors. As you see. I purchased two and both are itty bitty beauties.

UPDATE I moved these in late fall to plant in the ground. Cut them down and buried them in mulch. They grew effortlessly in the spring and are now blooming just beautifully! So many buds on both plants. Both are a brilliant pink color and very healthy. I water daily at the bottom of the plant. I couldnt be happier with these! I added the pictures of both in bloom, which I took today before updating this review. These hydrangeas arrived in perfect condition and the soil was still moist. All leaves were a healthy green. I planted each in cedar plant boxes my husband made. I used Miricle Gro potting mix and added a little garden lime to the mix in hope to keep the mix ph balanced right to get pink blooms. No bloom clusters yet, and maybe won't get any this year, since it is late season, but hoping to next year. I've had them in the cedar boxes for nearly two weeks, where they get morning sun and afternoon shade. I will bring them inside when the weather turns colder, and plant them in the ground next spring. I wouldn't hesitate to order again from this company. They seem to send out their products with quite a bit of care.

Purchased these in summer of 2022...4 blue, 4 pink...came beautifully packaged. Planted them 2 days later in front house garden. Seemed to be doing well, and then, leaves turned brown, and they shriveled up :( I chalked it up that I planted in July and was my fault. So this spring, 2023, I purchased the same plants that I bought , last year. Planted early...on east coast... and we have had some hot days, but just as much rain...when they started turning brown, I dead headed the ones that were not thriving...this week, I finally gave up as they have all wilted. I have a garden and pretty good with plants...maybe it was me...but 2 years in a row... I heard that I should buy those type of plants from the same area that I will be planting ? A mystery, but thought I would share...all plants arrived packaged well and thriving, beautiful colors...sad they never grew and thrived.
