This is hydrangea 'Endless Summer'. I took this pic late last summer. Next year will be year three for these. I have two of them. After their first winter here they were looking pretty dead and not showing any signs of life very late in the spring. One I pruned (big mistake) and had to wait until late summer for a couple blooms. The other I left alone even though the branches looked dead and lifeless. That one sprouted leaves shortly after and had many blooms all summer and was of course twice as large. This year neither will get trimmed no matter how dead they look. Lesson learned. :) I will be happy to see them starting to have little green sprouts again.
