Frequently Asked Questions

Is Summer Crush® Hydrangea native to the United States?

No. Hydrangea macrophylla is native to Japan, and Summer Crush® is a cultivar in the Endless Summer® series, bred for reblooming and compact size. While popular in U.S. gardens, it is not a native plant and provides limited ecological benefit compared to native hydrangeas like Hydrangea arborescens or Hydrangea quercifolia.

What makes Summer Crush® different from other bigleaf hydrangeas?

Summer Crush® is known for its compact size and vibrant raspberry red or neon purple blooms, depending on soil pH. It typically grows only 18 to 36 inches tall and wide, making it ideal for small spaces, borders, and containers. It is a reblooming variety, producing flowers on both old and new wood throughout the summer.

What are the ideal growing conditions for Summer Crush® Hydrangea?

This hydrangea thrives in partial sun to partial shade, especially morning sun and afternoon shade in hotter regions. It prefers moist, well-drained, fertile soil and is hardy in USDA zones 4 through 9. Regular watering, mulching, and pruning only as needed after flowering will keep it looking its best.

Is Summer Crush® good for pollinators or wildlife?

To a limited extent. The large blooms may attract some bees and butterflies, but as a cultivated hybrid with mophead flowers, most of the florets are sterile and offer little nectar or pollen. It is not a host plant and provides minimal support for native wildlife compared to native hydrangea species.

Is Summer Crush® deer-resistant and low-maintenance?

Not reliably. Like most hydrangeas, Summer Crush® is not deer-resistant and may need protection in areas with browsing pressure. It is, however, low-maintenance otherwise—requiring only light pruning, consistent watering, and acidic soil amendments if purple flower color is desired.
