The Hydrangea macrophylla 'Endless Summer' range is so named because it keeps producing flowers?and flowers?and more flowers! From May until September, this hardy shrub produces copious amounts of pretty, lacecap blooms, the petals of which can be either delicate pink or bold blue depending on soil acidity. If its seemingly endless season isn't enough to make you 'Twist & Shout', the plant's red stems also look lovely against its foliage, which is dark green in colour. Although it grows best in full sunlight, this Hydrangea can also flourish in partially shady cottage or woodland garden borders. Height: 1.5m (5'). Spread: 1.5m (5').
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Blushing Bride', part of the 'Endless Summer' series, bears large clumps of attractive, white semi-double flowers from May all the way through to September.

This deciduous shrub is an ideal choice for patio containers, or as the centre of attention in woodland gardens and mixed borders. Hydrangeas are well known for making superb cut flowers that last well. The 'Endless Summer' series is noted for its exceptional flowering period, tough habit and disease resistance. Height and spread: 1.8m (6?).
Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' is a beautiful hydrangea for garden borders and patios. Its large conical flowerheads open in a soft shade of pea green, then fade to creamy white with hints of soft pink. As the plant holds blooms at different stages of growth from late summer into well into the autumn, the result is three-toned effect. Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' is often the last plant to lose its summer flowers, and a simple prune in late autumn keeps it in great condition for the following year. Enjoying dappled shade, a planting under a tree canopy or by a wall, with a shaded root zone, is ideal for this shrub. Height and spread: 250cm (98).
In contrast to the more usual hydrangeas with pink or blue blooms, Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle' has white flowerheads.
