Why isn’t your hydrangea blooming?
There are a few common reasons: improper pruning, harsh winters, or insufficient nutrients.
What can you do to ensure your hydrangea blooms?
- Prune carefully: Only remove dead wood and avoid cutting back new growth, as this is where buds form.
- Protect in winter: Cover the plant base with mulch and wrap it with burlap if your area gets frost to prevent bud damage.
- Feed regularly: Use a fertilizer rich in phosphorus, like one labeled for flowering plants, to boost bloom production.
- Choose the right spot: Hydrangeas prefer partial shade and well-drained soil. Too much sun or waterlogged soil can stress the plant.
