If you use different fertilizer on each side of the plant, you will have both colors. Pretty amazing and easy to grow plant. bump to the top

It never ceases to amaze me how much the natural medicine people have contributed to modern medicine and how much modern medicine has blown them off as quacks.

I have a “limelight” hydrangea that I do absolutely nothing to and it is taking over one of my gardens. It's a beautiful plant, about seven feet tall and almost as wide, with gorgeous blooms that make excellent cut flowers. I live in Massachusetts where we can have temps of -20 in winter. I highly recommend this variety of hydrangea.

Thank you for a most interesting Thread. I will sent it to my Conservative, Christian and Republican Mom in California. She spends a small for fortune on natural medicine every month. It must be working, she is 78 going on 79 and still smokes like a chimney with diabetes and all! She keeps me on my knees to God, I tell ya! Dear Pandoraou812, You have given me an idea for my Mother's Birthday! Thank you! You will have FReep mail in about 5 minutes!

Do a google search on Endless Summer hydrangeas, and you’ll probably find some things...reviews, etc. I don’t have any info...first summer with them! So far so good! LOL

Sounds like a great plant...Your weather is much like Michigan, but I don’t have much luck with them..The plants are always nice and green, healthy looking but no flowers..They are planted in 2 different area’s but there must be something I am not doing right...Last couple of years too lazy to cover them so for 2 years great plant, no pretty blooms

If it isn’t natural, it isn’t medicine.

Crucially, the drug does not seem to affect other kinds of cell vital to the body's defences - meaning it does not otherwise inhibit the immune system." Note how they like to call the natural substance a "drug."

Reference,
‘Now it appears that a medicine derived from the hydrangea’s root could offer an alternative.
‘Experiments found that it blocked the formation of a type of white blood cell involved in autoimmune disease.
‘Crucially, the drug does not seem to affect other kinds of cell vital to the body’s defences - meaning it does not otherwise inhibit the immune system.
‘Mice with a multiple sclerosis-like disease were far less severely affected when given low doses of the hydrangea-based drug, which is called halofuginone, the journal Science reported.
‘Halofuginone is already used to treat a rare autoimmune disease which affects the skin and internal organs.’
