Description

The Everlasting Hydrangea varieties are reblooming shrubs that produce abundant, long-lasting, uniquely colored flowers massed in large, snowball-shaped clusters. The flowers change colors throughout the season as they age. Because each flower cluster lasts for many months, you’ll enjoy many colors on the same shrub at once. The flowers are ideal for use in cut flower arrangements.

Everlasting ‘Revolution’ produces abundant clusters of cupped flowers with petals that are ruffled on the edges. As they age, the flowers settle into a shades of deep pink, true blue, and purple to maroon. The 6 to 8-inch flower clusters rise on strong and sturdy stems above rounded mounds of handsome green foliage.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 2-3 feet tall and wide and producing abundant flowers throughout the season, the Everlasting Revolution Hydrangea is useful as an accent, in small groupings, and as a natural hedge in home foundation plantings and landscape borders. It is also highly suitable for container culture and is ideal for use in cottage and cut flower gardens as well as pink color theme gardens.

Spacing: 2.5′ for solid hedges; 5′ or more for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Planting Zone 5a, where this Hydrangea variety is not winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Everlasting Hydrangeas are easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil. An acid soil will create blue flowers while an alkaline soil creates pink flowers. The plants will tolerate full sun in northern zones however appreciate some afternoon shade or filtered sun in warmer southern zones. We recommend at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day or all day lightly filtered sun for best flowering. Unlike other mophead hydrangea, you can prune the Everlasting Hydrangeas at any time of year, though we recommend a late winter pruning and a deadheading (removal of faded flowers) after its first flush of blooms have faded. Flowers may be blue or purple tinted in acid soils. Add pelletized lime to turn flowers from blue to pink.

Note: Everlasting Revolution is an everblooming Hydrangea macrophylla species that produces its flowers from buds formed on both new and old wood.

Really surprised at how well these plants were packaged and unharmed in the process of traveling. They were in their pots for a couple weeks until we cleared out a space for them in my front yard. they did well in their pots and even got blooms. Very pleased with Wilson Bros. Will shop with them again.—————————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I ordered the one gallon in Everlasting Revolution and the three gallon L. A. Dreamin’. A few days later I received the box…dumped unceremoniously on my porch on its end even though there were arrows indicating it should have been kept on its side. This isn’t my first mail order plant experience, and I had moderately low expectations. I thought I’d open it to find damaged plants and soil all over the place. I was delighted to see that wasn’t the case! The packaging kept the plants secure and there was damp paper taped to prevent the soil from spilling. The soil was still damp and the plants are gorgeous and large! They both have buds and not a leaf was out of place. They are immaculate. Not a spot, not a bruised leaf, nothing that gave evidence of the long journey they’d been on. I had looked at local nurseries and they didn’t have the varieties I wanted. These two are far more beautiful than anything I have seen locally available. It’s obvious that they have been well cared for. I just can’t get over it! I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep them alive, much less as pristine as they are right now but I’m going to try. I was planning to put them in my front yard beds, but I might keep them on my patio where I spend more time just so I can see them more. I’m really impressed with Wilson Bros. Anything that goes wrong with these plants is all my fault. I can’t wait to see them in full bloom. I’m definitely going to order here again and I think everyone who wants quality, large plants should not hesitate to order from them.—————————————————-Wow! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks so much for the kind words and wonderful review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Received this beautiful plant in one gallon container several weeks ago. I planted in in my Hydrangea garden in the front yard. It has grown quite a bit and has many green leaves, but no buds appearing yet. Probably won’t come this year. Anxiously awaiting for next spring to see the plant flower. It arrived in great shape and was packed quite well!
