I just "transplanted" two Endless Summer Hydrangeas from two black construction garbage bags! I think they will be fine. I wanted to add three more hydrangeas to the same area. Went to Lowe's, where I thought I had purchased the Endless Summer's, and they have Forever & Ever! What's the difference? Is one better then the other? Will the stand side by side and no one will notice? Help!!

They're both trademark names for reblooming hydrangeas, so in that sense they will behave the same. They both are a series of plants that come in a couple different colors and may have some other differences, so if you want plants that are going to look identical you ought to look at the full name on the tag, then look up that particular plant in Plant Files or on the ES or F&E websites to see what it looks like.

If you have the original ES or F&E those probably look fairly similar and should match just fine, but there may be some color/flower shape differences between others in the series. But I don't think it would matter if your hydrangeas weren't all identical, they should still look nice together.

Forever and Ever seems to have more color variety. I grow both

Which Forever and ever did you purchase? Blue Heaven can be very dark purple and the blooms are different from ES. They seem to be a little flatter and the individual flowers a little bigger.

A friend bought me one for my bday. Blushing Bride. It hasn't bloomed as yet! Might have to wait until next year!
