Hydrangea macrophylla 'All Summer Beauty

Hydrangea macrophylla 'All Summer Beauty' is a pink mophead that will repeat flower during the growing season because it will flower on sideshoots of the current season's growth, whereas all the older varieties will only produce flowers at the end of shoots which arise directly from buds formed in the previous year. It is not the only new variety that has this ability, but it is the only one that is not subject to PBR. The advantage for both the grower and the gardener is that the plants can be pruned as needed to contain their growth without the risk of losing a year's flowering. What a common question it is from the public: "Why does my Hydrangea never flower?"
