Hydrangea
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 |

Too much shade, too little water, perhaps? -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

Leave it and next year it will be a picture. |

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.

I haven't tried this myself so can't comment, but may try it next spring on one stem to see the difference in flower size |
