Endless Summer® Blushing Bride
St. Paul, Minn. (Spring 2012) – The name of this spectacular Hydrangea macrophylla says it all! Endless Summer® Blushing Bride blooms with radiant pure white, semi-double florets that gradually mature to a sweet pink blush. This plant evokes ooohs and aahs in any garden setting.
Blushing Brideʼs strong stems and branches keep the plant sturdy and upright in the garden, making it a perfect flower for cutting. Its attractive dark green foliage provides a striking background for the plantʼs large mophead blooms.
This member of the Endless Summer Collection reliably blooms on both old and new growth, producing more blooms all season long. Blushing Brideʼs full yet compact habit makes it an ideal plant for decorative containers, elegant as a stand-alone shrub or combined with other garden plants. It is the perfect accent plant for garden weddings. Blushing Bride also makes a creative gift for the new couple.
Dr. Michael Dirr at the University of Georgia bred Endless Summer Blushing Bride in 2001, and he calls this Hydrangea macrophylla his most significant introduction to date. “Blushing Bride has the same reblooming qualities as its parent, Endless Summer The Original, only faster,” says Dirr. Like Endless Summer The Original, Blushing Bride blooms on both old and new growth. With Blushing Bride youʼll have more blooms,
more quickly, all season long. Look for Endless Summer Blushing Bride and its sister plants, Endless Summer® The Original, Endless Summer® Twist-n-Shout™ and the new Endless Summer® Bella Anna™ in their distinctive blue pots.
