My hydrangas are growing very well, but they won't flower. In the fall I
cut them down to about two feet. What I'm I doing wrong?

Some hydrangas bloom on new wood and you can cut them down in the fall.
Some hydrangas bloom on old wood and you can't cut them down in the
fall. You must have the latter. The everblooming hydrangas bloom on
both new wood and old wood.

That is what I thought too. Deer decimated mine and they did not bloom
last year so I fenced them in and now they are blooming from old wood.
