Twist-n-Shout® Reblooming Hydrangea for Lacecap Blooms, Blue-to-Pink Color, and Long-Season Flowers
Lacecap Blooms With A Lighter, More Natural “Garden” Look
Twist-n-Shout® gives you hydrangea flowers with a more delicate, airy style. Instead of solid mopheads, it produces lacecap blooms—showy outer florets surrounding a fertile center—which creates a layered look that feels romantic and a little wild (in the best way). It’s a beautiful fit for cottage gardens, woodland edges, and mixed borders where you want hydrangea color that blends gracefully with perennials rather than looking like a single big ball of bloom.
That lacecap style also plays beautifully with companion plants. Pair Twist-n-Shout® with hostas, ferns, astilbe, and heuchera for bright shade texture, or tuck it behind low evergreens for a polished foundation look. The blooms read beautifully from the curb, but they’re especially charming up close—perfect for patio beds and walkway edges where you’ll actually see the details.
Reblooming Performance That Keeps Flowers Coming Back
As part of the Endless Summer® family, Twist-n-Shout® is prized for repeat bloom. It can flower on both old wood and new wood, which helps it keep producing blooms even if winter damages some stems or if pruning isn’t perfectly timed. That’s huge for gardeners who have loved hydrangeas but have been burned by “all leaves, no flowers” seasons. Twist-n-Shout® is simply more forgiving, and it’s designed to keep the show going.
In real gardens, you’ll often see a strong early-season flush followed by additional waves of bloom through summer. To support repeat flowering, give it steady moisture, mulch to keep roots cool, and avoid harsh afternoon sun. When stress stays low, this hydrangea keeps setting buds and pushing more flowers, stretching the hydrangea season far beyond what many traditional varieties deliver.
Blue, Pink, or Purple Flowers Based on Soil pH
Twist-n-Shout® has that classic hydrangea “color story.” In more acidic soil, blooms trend bluer; in more alkaline soil, they trend pinker, and in-between conditions often produce purplish tones. It’s a fun feature because it lets your garden’s natural soil chemistry add a unique signature—or it gives you the option to lean into the color you love most over time by keeping soil conditions consistent.
The biggest key is plant comfort. Rich soil, even moisture, and protection from hot afternoon sun help the plant produce fuller bloom heads and stronger color. If you’re aiming for bluer tones, consistency matters more than quick fixes. Think steady care and a good planting site first—healthy growth and reliable reblooming make the color look better, no matter which direction your soil naturally leans.
A Sturdy, Landscape-Friendly Shrub That’s Easy To Place
Twist-n-Shout® typically matures around 3 to 5 feet tall and about 3 to 5 feet wide, forming a rounded shrub with a strong presence that still fits standard beds. It’s a great size for foundation plantings, mixed shrub borders, and bright shade areas that need structure and seasonal drama. The shrub’s form also makes it easy to repeat in a row for an informal flowering hedge that feels lush and welcoming.
Because it’s a reblooming hydrangea, pruning can stay simple. Most gardeners get the best performance with minimal pruning—clean up dead stems in early spring, remove spent blooms if you like a tidy look, and avoid aggressive late-season cutbacks. Give it the right spacing for airflow, keep it mulched, and water consistently, and Twist-n-Shout® becomes one of those “looks high-end, acts low-maintenance” shrubs.

How to Care for Twist-n-Shout® Reblooming Hydrangea
Be sure to read our planting instructions to ensure a healthy and happy Endless Summer® Twist-n-Shout® Hydrangea for years to come!
How should I plant Twist-n-Shout® Hydrangea?
lanting an Endless Summer® Twist-n-Shout® Hydrangea correctly ensures strong growth and season-long blooming. Choose a location that receives morning sun and afternoon shade, especially in warmer climates, to protect the delicate lacecap blooms from excessive heat. Start by digging a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball. Gently loosen the roots and place the hydrangea so the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill with a mix of native soil and compost, press firmly to eliminate air pockets, and water thoroughly to help the plant settle. For best results, space Twist-n-Shout® Hydrangeas at least 3 to 5 feet apart to allow room for their mature size and to promote healthy airflow. Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the plant, keeping it a few inches away from the stems to prevent rot and help retain moisture. These hydrangeas prefer moist, well-drained soil and benefit from consistent watering during establishment. With the right planting location and early care, your Twist-n-Shout® will reward you with vibrant pink or blue blooms, strong red stems, and lush foliage from spring through fall.Plant Twist-n-Shout® in a location with morning sun and afternoon shade, or bright filtered light. Dig a hole about twice as wide as the root ball and set the plant so the top of the root ball sits level with the surrounding soil. Backfill with native soil amended with compost, then water deeply to settle roots and remove air pockets. Finish with 2–3 inches of mulch to keep roots cool and soil evenly moist, keeping mulch a few inches away from the stems. Hydrangeas rebloom best when stress is low, so choose a spot that’s easy to water during summer heat. If planting multiples, give each shrub enough room to mature without crowding.
How often should I water Twist-n-Shout® Hydrangea after planting?
Water deeply right after planting, then keep the soil consistently moist for the first several weeks. A good baseline is 1 to 2 deep waterings per week, adjusted for heat, wind, and drainage. Hydrangeas prefer steady moisture, so avoid letting the root zone dry completely between waterings. After the first season, continue watering during dry spells—especially when buds form and blooms develop. Water at the base to keep foliage drier and reduce leaf issues. Mulch helps stabilize moisture, which supports stronger flowering and more consistent rebloom.
When should I fertilize Twist-n-Shout® Hydrangea?
Fertilize in spring as new growth begins using a slow-release shrub fertilizer or one labeled for hydrangeas. Apply it over the root zone (not against the stems) and water afterward so nutrients move into the soil. Compost is also a great add-on for improving soil structure and moisture retention. If you want to support strong summer performance, a light second feeding in early summer can help, but avoid heavy late-season fertilizing. Pushing lots of late growth can reduce cold hardiness and may interfere with bud and bloom timing. Consistent, moderate feeding supports better foliage and repeat flowering.
When and how should I prune Twist-n-Shout® Hydrangea?
Prune Twist-n-Shout® lightly in early spring by removing any clearly dead stems and tidying winter damage. Because it blooms on both old wood and new wood, heavy pruning isn’t required and can reduce the number of flowering stems. Focus on cleanup and gentle shaping rather than hard cutbacks. If you need to shape or slightly reduce the size, do it right after a major flush of flowers and keep cuts light. Avoid aggressive pruning in late summer or fall, which can reduce future bud development and stress the plant going into winter. Minimal pruning plus consistent moisture is the simplest path to repeat blooms.
