Blossoming Questions

MY ENDLESS SUMMER HYDRANGEA IS NOT BLOOMING – IT IS IN MOSTLY SHADED AREA – IS THIS THE PROBLEM?

I BOUGHT AN ENDLESS SUMMER HYDRANGEA LAST YEAR. THIS YEAR I AM ONLY SEEING NEW GROWTH, THERE ARE ZERO BUDS ON THE OLD BRANCHES AND THEY ARE VERY DRY. IS IT OKAY TO PRUNE THESE DOWN TO THE GROUND?

I BOUGHT THIS ENDLESS SUMMER LAST WEEK. THE LEAVES TURNED BROWN AND SOFT. I’M NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED. IS IT BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER? LAST FEW DAYS IT SNOWED IN OUR AREA. THE TEMPERATURE DROPPED TO -2 DEGREES AND SPRING SEASON IS ALMOST OVER.

HOW MANY FEET AWAY FROM OUR HOUSE SHOULD WE PLANT THE ENDLESS SUMMER HYDRANGEAS?

CAN I PLANT AN ENDLESS SUMMER HYDRANGEA IN A WASHTUB WITH A DRAIN?

CAN THE ENDLESS SUMMER HYDRANGEA BE PLANTED IN A POT AND PLACED ON A BACK PATIO THAT IS ESSENTIALLY FULL SHADE TO SOME AFTERNOON LIGHT?

I WOULD LIKE TO PLANT MY ENDLESS SUMMER HYDRANGEAS AGAINST MY HOUSE TO APPEAR AS ONE LARGE SHRUB. THE AREA OF COVERAGE IS 12.6 FEET LONG. HOW MANY PLANTS DO I NEED AND HOW FAR APART SHOULD THE SPACING BE FOR THEM TO BLEND TOGETHER WHILE PROVIDING ENOUGH ROOM TO GROW?

I JUST RECEIVED AN ENDLESS SUMMER HYDRANGEA FOR MOTHER’S DAY. SHOULD WE PLANT IT RIGHT AWAY OR CAN WE PUT IT IN A POT? IF WE PUT IT IN A POT WHEN CAN WE PUT IT IN THE GROUND? ALSO, IN IOWA, HOW MUCH SHADE IS PARTIAL SHADE?

WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FEEDING THE ENDLESS SUMMER HYDRANGEA? WOULD A 10-10-10 BE OK?

IS IT POSSIBLE TO TRANSPLANT AN ENDLESS SUMMER THE ORIGINAL THAT IS SEVERAL YEARS OLD? I DON’T THINK ITS GETTING ENOUGH SUN TO ENCOURAGE BLOOMING.
