Re: Endless Summer hydrangea

**H*@aol.com**

I've trialed Endless Summer in zone 6 and zone 5.  The three in the  zone 6 
location were withing five feet of each other and yet each performed  
differently with only two surviving after two years.  In the zone 5 trials  all three s
urvived though they die to the ground each year and are only green  budded 
now.  These get good snow cover protection, are at an altitude of  about 2000 
feet and are somewhat small compared to the zone 6 plants but the  zone six soil 
is much better and the growing season longer at each end.   Zone 5 area was 
down to 38 degrees twice last week.
