How far away from the house should I plant an endless summer Hydrangea?

Most hydrangea like to be in a cool spot, shaded from the direct sun. I have an entire south facing wall filled with different Hydrangea varieties. I've planted them about 18 inches from the house and they thrive there.

How far away from the house should I plant an endless summer Hydrangea?
Typically, depending on your zone, the Endless Summer variety of hydrangeas grow to be 4 or 5 feet around. So, I would say atleast 3 feet, ideally 4 or 5, especially since if you ever need to do any foundation repair work or repair siding, etc... it is going to be a huge pain in the posterior if you plant them too close to the house.
Reply:depends on how far you want to walk to get your cut flowers... if you already decided you want it close i would go with 3 or 4 feet to give it room to grow in every direction
Reply:far enough to where the snow won't damage it falling off
