Our next meeting is:
August 24, 2022, at 1:00 at the Aldridge Gardens Education Building
Probably the most successful plant series introduced this century is the Endless Summer® collection of bigleaf hydrangeas. These hydrangeas, bred by Dr. Michael Dirr’s plant production company and sold by Bailey Nurseries, come in white, blue, pink, lacecap, mophead, large and dwarf forms.
They have one outstanding trait in common – they rebloom throughout the growing season. This trait of blooming on both old and new wood is called remontancy. This development has led to a revolution in the marketing of bigleaf hydrangeas. Starting with 1.5 million Endless Summer® hydrangeas sold in 2004, today that number stands at over 30 million.
In our August program we will examine the repeat blooming Endless Summer® series of hydrangeas and debut the newest edition that is scheduled for its official public introduction in 2023. Come and find out about this exciting new hydrangea introduction.
Visitors and Guests are Welcome.

Enjoy this Power Point presentation of the pictures from both tours. We thank both Jim and Wendy for their great hospitality.
