Thanks Katra. I think it was just done blooming. The foilage looked great
until I moved it into the shade - that's the night the deer came to visit.
They have learned that there is some tasty Japanese ligustrum babies in that
spot! My deck is getting fuller and crowded from trying to keep these
plants alive!
With hope and heart,
Kathleen


got a beautiful hydrangea at Marbridge, in their tropical plants

section.
It's not doing so well out on my deck (in a pot) next to my hibiscus.

The
flowers are dead/dying. Now I moved it so it is in spotty shade.

(maybe
15% shade) Is it just done blooming?
Clueless,
Kathleen


They do best in partial shade.

And yes, like all blooming plants, the flowers die off.
It will cycle back, just not sure when!

Try doing a google.com search for Hydrangea. They are a popular plant
and I'm also still learning about them since a girl at work gave me one
for my birthday this year. :-)

My blooms finished dying off a week or so ago but the foliage is looking
fine.
