Hi Nancy,
Our Endless Summers, those overwintered here in Zone 5b and others overwintered in Zone 6a/b ( Canadian Hardiness Zones) have done very well re blooms. Bloom size varies depending on number of stems and fertility- no real surprises there. We find that the acidifiers, usually aluminum sulphate, work for about 1 year; if you want to change from pink to blue, it takes about 4-6 weeks.
The plant does very well, can get leggy if not pruned back a titch and, in our area, really dislikes the heat.
All in all, this is easily one of the best changeable hydrangeas for our markets. As far as marketing- we don't have to. the big blue pots, gardening articles and word of mouth have made this a big seller.
Hope this helps,
Dan

I'd like some feedback on the blooming power of Endless Summer in zone 5 and
down. Here in Michigan mine survived the hottest summer on record. After
dying back to the ground in winter 2 plants rose to bloom brightly and 2
produced but a single cluster. My plants are in their third season in my
garden.
