Ideally, this Hydrangea loves to have morning sun and then some partial shade from the hot afternoon sun. They will not flower well if they are grown in full shade, so they do need that morning sun to make the best bloom. An east side of a home or building, or a larger tree is ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvide rich, well-drained soils for your Hydrangeas. If your soil stays wet after a rainfall, add additional soil in a mound 18 - 24 inches above the native soil. Plant directly in that mound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive your plants a regular schedule of moderate water. Use a thick layer of mulch to cover the base of the plant to keep the root system moist. Please pull mulch back away from the stems a few inches to give better air circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.naturehills.com\/blog\/post\/how-to-prune-hydrangeas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eEarly spring pruning\u003c\/a\u003e is best done when you can see the start of new growth on these deciduous shrubs. Trim back the flower heads on old stems down to where new sprouts are starting. Reduce any of the branch tips that may have been winter-damaged from the cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the older, thicker stems finish blooming in summer, you may want to remove those old stems out to the ground, leaving the younger stems to push forth the second flush of blooms. Removing the oldest stems after their yearly bloom will easily rejuvenate your plant over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn colder hardiness zones, there can be some winter damage. Established plants are best protected like you might a Rose bush by waiting for the plants to go dormant, and then piling up a mound of mulch over the top of the plant by a foot or so. In the late spring, pull the mulch away as the weather warms up. Then prune back any dead tops and it should grow nicely from the covered stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike most Hydrangea bushes, soil acidity will affect the bloom color. The blooms start out white and they will fade to light pink in alkaline soil and light blue in acidic soil, so adjust your soil accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mature size of the plants can vary somewhat based on the climate the soil type, and the amount of water available to the plant. They like areas with good air circulation and soil moisture, but not necessarily overhead irrigation. Use drip irrigation when you can to keep the soil moist, but not the foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnjoy your long relationship with the beautiful Endless Summer® Blushing Bride Hydrangea.

You can think of it as a cute, little screen to give strategic privacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll love the way this pretty plant helps you relax on your patio. Plant it behind a loveseat or near a side door to boost your sense of space. Even if you can't plant it in the ground, it will do well when grown in a container. Use one of the enormous commercial-grade containers available now for decades of enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInclude one or more in your front yard. It's \u003cstrong\u003ewonderful as a small tree in a foundation planting\u003c\/strong\u003e. Try it at the corner of your house, situated 15 feet away from the exterior wall. It will be a graceful accent to welcome guests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant several Lavender Twist® along a rocky slope, then, simply allow the branches to grow long and cascade down to soften the wall. This tree can add a bold touch of drama without much extra care beyond providing water as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOr, use 3, 5, or 7 in a berm (large raised mound) planting. We would advise grouping them into smaller clusters for the most natural look. If you use 7, for instance, try a group of 3 in a loose triangle. Then, give breathing room between another group of 4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tree has such a sculptural look with its twisting and turning branches. Give each one some breathing room with at least 10 feet between each plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you plant, draw out your plan on paper. Once your plants arrive, take another moment to place each tree while it's still in the container.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll also want to study each of your plants.

If puddles remain on your soil after a rain or watering, consider elevating the planting area. Add 18 - 24 inches of soil above the native soil line and plant your tree directly in that mound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease don't plant your tree too low in the soil. For container plants, plant at the same level as the nursery soil line. For bareroot trees, look for the color change (soil line) and plant at that depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results in warm, dry climates, give protection from the hot afternoon sun. Provide a 3-inch deep layer of mulch. You'll start about 2 inches away from the trunk and apply mulch thickly all around the tree to a distance of 3 feet outside the canopy. This will keep the root system nice and cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive it regular summer watering. This is especially important in hardiness Zones 9 - 10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the fall, you'll appreciate how quickly the leaves drop once the plant goes dormant.

The head of the tree will be comprised of downward cascading branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStaking Lavender Twist® as a young plant will help continue to develop the height of the trunk. Train it to grow as tall as you'd like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do recommend that you keep it staked until the trunk is at least 4 to 5 feet tall. You can even keep it tied to a 10-foot bamboo pole until the trunk is 8 feet tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the tying tape regularly to ensure it doesn't grow too tight. Retie if you need to as your tree trunk thickens up in caliper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also influence the look of the branches with easy pruning techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePruning Tips for Lavender Twist® Weeping Redbud\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrune your tree after flowering to direct the spring growth and allow airflow into the canopy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the plant matures, fall pruning is required to remove dead, weak, or crossed limbs inside the dense canopy. This will help maintain good airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou also need to decide how long you want to let the branches grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome people allow the cascading limbs to grow to the ground, where they spread out as ground cover around the base of the tree. This bold look grabs attention in any landscape, especially if you have a slope or rock wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLavender Twist® also looks incredible when the straight trunk is exposed. You can prune the lowest branches right back to the main trunk.

The 1.5-inch flowers appear in clusters against dark green, exceptionally glossy foliage that looks freshly polished all season. Unlike traditional roses that demand constant deadheading, these blooms are self-cleaning and drop cleanly when spent, immediately making room for the next flush of color.

Black spot, powdery mildew, and other rose diseases that plague traditional varieties simply don't affect this rose. The glossy leaves stay clean and healthy from spring through fall without preventative spraying. Deer walk right past it. Once established, it tolerates drought remarkably well for a rose.
