I have two Hydrangeas Growing in my garden.
One is flowering beautifully, but the other one,
although it looks to be the healthier one of the
two and has loads of leaves hasn't a flower
in sight.
Does anyone know what the problem could be ?

TIA,

Wally


Did you prune it all back in the Spring if so how much?

Yes I did, quite a lot, was that not a good thing ??

Wally


They flower on last years growth, which you've pruned away.
Leave it and next year it will be a picture.

Quite so!.
Only prune when you lose the light from the streetlamps shining through your
front bedroom.window.
You wait until the new flowers are well established then you nip off the top
bit of the old
"blooms" which, are by then, brown , dry, dead and just little twig stumps.
They become very large bushes so you have to do something after about six
years.
I have left mine alone because they, - the plants, - are there because evil
vicious thugs have moved in next door.
