Blossoming Questions

Website says to fertilize in early spring or summer so does that mean you only fertilize one time? But it also says follow instructions on label, which mine says feed every 14 days. I bought the Scots company garden pro water soluble miracid acid loving plant food. So do I only do this once or do I feed every 14 days?

The Summer Crush label says full sun but videos say not full sun. Can they be full sun?

First time with a summer crush hydrangea. Planted in most sun . Been 2 months doing great. Just wondering if should cut off the dead blooms. Or should I say discolored faded ones.?? They still look ok and I read on the tag. The less you prune the better ??? So just wasn’t sure??

I purchased 1 Summer Crush which came with lots of old dead sticks. After 3 weeks of planting, I can see some new leaves growing out but very tiny. I just cut al dead sticks, I’m not sure it can grow bigger and bloom in the first year? I just feel it’s not growing.

How do I prune once the flowers turn brown during summer?

About 3 weeks ago I planted summer crush hydrangeas in zone 5 in NE. Per you site and the tag it claims these plants can have full sun in zones 4-9. I planted these facing east and given the sun rise I believe they are getting about 8 hours of sun. Since it’s gotten a little warmer I’ve been noticing them drooping a little come the end of the sun time. They seem to re bound after they are in the shade and or I water, but I’m concerned since it will only get hotter here. Is this just b/c their are newly planted or should I be concerned I planted them in too much sun? Also, how much should I be watering them? Thanks

How can I get my hydrangea plant to grow larger? Every year the plant died back and new growth are coming from the base when summer arrives. All the branches left from previous are all dead and did not have any new growth, and pruning did not seems to help.

What side of the house do you plant summer crush?

ONLY 1 OF 4 PLANTS BLOOMED LAST SUMMER. THIS SPRING I HAVE GREEN BUDS AT GROUND LEVEL BUT NOT ON LAST YEAR’S WOODY STEMS. THE BUDS ON THE OLD STEMS ARE BROWN AND APPEAR TO BE DEAD. SHOULD I CUT THE OLD STEMS TO THE GROUND? HALFWAY? WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

I JUST BOUGHT A SUMMER CRUSH HYDRANGEA AND IT IS BLOOMING PINK. HOW DO I GET THE RASPBERRY COLOR AS SHOWN ON THE CARD WITH IT?
