Re: Endless Summer hydrangea

**"* Z* <b*@gmail.com>**

Mary Fran,
Endless Summer in my neighbours garden does well with half day sun but he 
uses a higher content manured soils that are manured annually. Not fifteen 
feet away My Forever Pink Hydrangea in only its second year blooms larger, 
looks better even after three weeks ago a car drove through my whole front 
garden doing it some serious injury. Again this plant seems to enjoy organic 
soil under mulch.
