LOD was exoected to be part of the Endless Summer Series but reblooming was spotty as soon as larg production of the shrub ramped up. It was never tied to the ES Series. Mariessi Variegated is another variegated hydrangea. Probably sells more than LOD. Not sure what's up with the variegated ones as Mariessi, well, it blooms but it never impresses with the blooms. But hey, the leaves are plum gorgeous by themselves!!!! So I guess what I am saying is that it may be spotty in the bloomage department some times so if that happens, do not be surprised.

I hope you'll be lucky and find it a better bloomer and more vigorous than mine, It is late to leaf out and I'm not sure it has ever bloomed. There's always some one who hits the jackpot and grows something much better than I have. Let us know if you are one. BTW, if you are ever near Lexington MA, stop by and I'll give you a third.
