• Endless Summer The Original Reblooming Hydrangea Live Shrub in 1-Gallon Grower Pot
• This plant is considered a shrub because its life cycle lasts more than two years, allowing it to grow and bloom season after season instead of completing its life cycle in a single year.
• Light Requirements:  Plant hydrangeas in east‑facing spots to give them bright morning sun while protecting them from harsh afternoon heat. This reflects their natural habitat and supports strong growth. In colder climates, south‑facing areas with full sun can help them get the light they need to thrive.
• Mature Height:  3-5 feet
• Mature Width:  3-5 feet
• USDA Hardiness Zones: 4-9
• Watering Requirements:  Newly transplanted plants need consistent, deep watering to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, typically about 1–2 inches of water per week, with extra attention during the first 1–2 weeks to help roots establish. It’s best to water at the base of the plant early in the day and avoid wetting the foliage to reduce disease risk.
• Soil Requirements: Newly transplanted shrubs plants need well-draining, nutrient-rich soil with organic matter like compost.  
• Where to Plant:  Plant hydrangeas along fencelines or as foundation plantings where they receive morning sun and afternoon shade. These spots give them protection from heat while letting their colorful blooms stand out in your landscape.
• Bloom Color: Classic Nantucket blue or soft pink depending on the soil conditions.
• Bloom Season:  Late Spring through Early Fall
• Help keep plastic out of landfills! Bring your empty plant pots back to the Walmart Garden Center for recycling—just ask a Garden Center associate to help give those containers a greener, second life.
• Recover From Shipping: Gently remove the plant from its packaging as soon as you receive it, give it fresh water, and allow 24–48 hours for the leaves to rehydrate and settle after transit.
• Help It Thrive: Place the plant in bright, indirect light and avoid repotting for the first few days so it can acclimate to its new environment comfortably.
• Plant With Care if Planting in the Ground: Once acclimated, transfer your plant to fresh, well‑draining soil and water lightly to help it establish strong, healthy roots in its new environment.
