Blossoming Questions

What do I use to change the color? I read something but cannot find it now.

Do you still produce Hydrangea arborescens ‘Bella Anna’?

What do you mean by mulching in the winter time to protect the early buds. My plant is 3 foot tall- do mean mulch the top of the dirt?

What are the dark spots on the leaves of my hydrangea?

When I cut off a bloom where should I make the cut on the stem?

Why do they look burnt after planted in ground?

Did cutting flowers last year in the fall to dry in vases cause my hydrangeas to not produce any flowers this year?

If the flowers are drooping to the ground, should I prop them up with supports?

Is there any pruning to be done after the flowers die off?

I live in Maryland (Zone 6) its mid July and my blooms are fading, is this just the natural progression of life or will my plants re-bloom. They are getting the proper amount of water and I just lightly fertilized. Anything else I can do?
