Endless Summer hydrangea

**M* F* M* <m*@sympatico.ca>**

I'm a newbie to this group, but have read everyone's comments with 
interest and learned a lot. Now I can contribute a little bit of info.

I have 2 Endless Summer plants in-ground (Toronto, zone 5 or 6, 
depending on whose map you're looking at). This is their 3rd season 
and they're both blooming very nicely. I have VERY sandy soil and 
lots of shade. They get only a couple hours of sun a day. Oddly, one 
is blue (which it's supposed to be) and the other, about 8 feet away, 
is pink. Admittedly, I don't fiddle around with any soil adjustments 
to affect the colour -- can't seem to fit that into my schedule. 
Another gardener I know reports the same colouration with her plants this year.

This is the first year they've done so well, but they had some blooms 
last year, too. I do coddle them in winter -- mulch heavily and 
surround them with evergreen branches to protect them from the north 
winds that sometimes barrel into my somewhat exposed garden.
