This is the first season we have carried this plant and it is looking particularly awesome right now. It is great to see its fall color coming out as of late. In the photo here, you can see this reblooming lacecap hydrangea's vibrant flower heads, which are a deep pink. Twist-n-Shout flowers all summer and well into the Fall. It prefers part shade and fairly acidic soil. Since these conditions are plentiful here in our area, this is a good grower for us. The glossy deep green leaves turn a beautiful burgundy-red in autumn. As with the Original Endless Summer Hydrangea, 'Twist-n-Shout' promises to be super cold (Zone 4) and heat tolerant in our humid summers.

Twist-n-Shout
Anyone who's into gardening has heard of the Endless Summer Hydrangea by now!! A blue mophead hydrangea that blooms on new and old growth, how excellent!! We now have experience with another introduction to the same collection of Endless Summer Hydrangeas...this one is called Endless Summer Twist-n-Shout or, botanically speaking, Hydrangea macrophylla 'Phim'. Now that we have taken care of our share of these wonderful Hydrangea for several months, we can vouge for their vigor.
